Work wrapped up on the Castilian Project a few weeks ago. The rotted beams were removed and replaced followed by some caulk and paint. The before and after pictures don’t really show how much work was done since we just replaced the beams. Around the new pavers we hand shoveled in about 9 tons of Dakota River Rock. As with any project a few hurdles jumped in our way but we worked past them and ended up fixing a few electrical issues along with our project.

Work has started on the project. Demolition took place on Tuesday and the concrete was formed and poured on Thursday. We went with a slightly dyed concrete to set the steps off of the new driveway once it goes in. Next we will remove the rest of the rotted material and rebuild the arbor. More pics to come.

The latest project is a new entry patio for a Drummond Castilian. Not a large project but it should be a fun one. Construction is slated to start in a few weeks, so I’ll be updating pictures and drawings of the design.
The main challenge of the project is reworking the entry sequence into the house by replacing the concrete walkway with something appropriate.
