Almost done....

Well, the pergola is up, and the stone deck is almost finished as well. The fire pit is in place, and we are cooking with ...wood. It was so much fun, having everyone around the fire, a glass of wine, some hot dogs and marsh mellows.

It was a lot of work, and a lot of rock piles got cleaned up in the process.

Also, we really got to appreciate the view again. We hope to be able to spend lots of time there. And imagine, just sitting there , enjoying the outside and no mosquitoes.




Here are a couple of pictures of the fire pit. Mom ordered it online :)
It works well and looks amazing. You can see on the bottom picture the motive of grape vines. It shows up real nice in the dark, with a good blaze going.


Fun was had by all........
