The shingles have been installed and are waiting to be stained. (Yes, the builder glues them on the roof first, and then stains or paints them afterwards. Not the recommended way of staining shingles – it's just a Sam thing.)
Luka has been working alongside the builder making sure that the foundations are properly cemented, and that the rocks and pathways are being placed according to plan.
Here is Sam's work table with Bessie's shop.
A wooden frame was found at a thrift store to enclose the base of the property. Due to the frame being slightly longer than the land, an extra couple of inches were added with no additional cost to Bessie.
Because of the extra acreage, more cement had to be poured and left to cure.
Cheerio,
Isabelle
It's coming along nicely Isabelle. Let Sam know she's not the only one that would do that with the shingles, I reckon they would be far too fiddly for me to do any other way than on the roof! The garden looks great too, can't wait to see it all completed. :)

ReplyDeleteHello Isabelle,
ReplyDeleteIt looks wonderful. I love the foundation work and good luck with the shingles.
Big hug,

Sam and Luka did a fantastic job!!! Lucky Bessie getting even a small garden with a pond, what more could she ask for! Taking this frame as a base was a great choice.
