Prepare To Be Amazed

The first side of the new entryway to our farm is done.

We think it's gorgeous.

Wow.

Jordan did a fabulous job on the cedar slabs and caps for the columns.  We never want them to get dirty, so it's Jordan's job to go out and dust them every day.

To install the slabs, the brick mason built a channel into the columns, so all we had to do is slide the slabs down into place.

And, another picture just because it looks so good.

I hope to do some landscaping around the base, but will have to wait until the other side is done and Tom gets the sprinklers reinstalled.  They have been inoperable for a long time.  Somewhere along the the way, the lines have been cut and when Tom dug them up, the pipes were full of sand.

What a difference, huh?  It doesn't even look like the same brick, but believe it or not, we did reuse the brick.

Loving the Entryway

The brick mason did a great job on the brick entryway columns.  He only did one side of the drive because he had another job scheduled, but he's coming back in a few weeks to get the other side done.

In the meantime, Jordan is making progress on the wood portion of the project.

 

He is milling the cedar trees.

And is in the process of building caps for the brick columns.

It's going to be beautiful.  Can't wait till it's done!

More pictures to come.
