We just ordered the Country Manor, specially color matched in Terra Cotta Brown instead of Brown blend for this job at no extra charge. We are going to blend in about 100 sf of greystone to bring some colors through from the granite. We will be the very first ever to use these colors, and at first production told uis it would be 2 months. Then the CEO of the manufacturer got wind of what was going on and told them to run it. EXELLENT SERVICE RCP Block and Brick Co.!

The barbecue top is not going to be mosaic. We will be using cut, gauged blue slate, thin set to the concrete barbecue top. WE started trenching for the polyethylene gas pipe and peeling more off the boulders to get to grade. We are running single phase 220 line with a 60 amp, 6 station load center to the back of the barbecue, so we can take off several 120 lines and wore them with GFI ciruits.

The DG fill is being slammed down with the Wacker and we are cutting the terraces off for the seat walls with the 257.

I have steel ordered for the framework of the roof line, which is going to mimick the Del Coronado hotel on Coranado island. Slats will be redwood, stained, then coated with oil based polyeurethane.

We could see clear past Palomar mountain today, which is 30 miles off in the distance. Now we get to play hurry up and wait...It is going to take 2-3 weeks for product to be cast and tumbled for this job.

This is like one of the first big jobs we ever got...I am feeling like a kid on his new bike right about now.... Will keep you posted as to how progress is made. I have some before pics and am going to try and figure out how to post them Sunday....
