The forms were laid on Wednesday (upper left), the stone was supposed to be delivered on Thursday, but as usual, (& just like everything else on this project) the stone never arrived until Friday.It came bright & early on Friday & I mean early! The upper right picture was what I saw out our bedroom window....A dumptruck load full of stone heading for our bedroom!!!Good thing that truck driver knew what he was doing!
So the stone is spread, 3 truck loads full (took til about 2 pm) & we're ready for the concrete. Should have been here between 2 & 3. 3:30 Tom calls-it'll be here in half an hour. Concrete company calls Tom-truck's there no one's outside???? We're standing & waiting, they're at the wrong house, about 3 miles down on the other end of our street. Obviously a guy driving, didn't ask for directions...at least he didn't dump & run!

We had the concrete dyed this beautiful brown, it'll look terrific with the stone we'll install on the front of the house. Finished off with a light broom finish. Then we had them chip out a 6'x6' square in front of the entrance door where we'll install porcelain tile. (OK-figure of speech-not so much "we" as more Tom & Mandy. I of course have Eva...)I thought a large Italic M M in the tile for Medaj Manor would be kinda cool~what do you think????
Not the greatest shot of the front porch, but you can see it starts at the side door on the right & wraps around to the side door on the left. Tuesday we're scheduled to pour the concrete pad for the patio in the back of the house. We're getting there!
