Wednesday

Finish almost all the carving on the bar area.... just a small area left and we will begin the troublesome pool area...I must say it is experimental at best because we are not doing the entire pool...just a small section ...kind of a ( this is what we can do ) type of thing.... the pool was heavily sealed with a solvent base sealer.....so in addition to having only one day  there are not many valid options due to the time constraints. 

We will paint on Friday in the early morning....Thursday we will be completed with all carving...

The client is absolutely impressed with the work done so far....very happy...

Looking forward to Friday and the trip home...miss my wife kids all ready

Thursday

We finished carving today and began the staining process....we are using H&C products and stains....I have never used these before so I am curious as to the out come....

We also don't have it easy as we are duplicating the cultured stone on the sides of the home.   It seems basic but it is surprising how just a little color ( few colors ) can be complex.

Tim Coyle is doing a great job, we also did a little bit of carving on the water feature.....not much ...I think we used about 7-8 bags of Tru-Pac and that was all we had...at least we thought thats all we had... at the end of the day we discovered under all the stuff we had piled in the middle of the job site ... another 3 bags... oh well...

I took the guys out for diner tonight and we all had a good time talking and sharing ideas and laughing... the restaurant was call Frogs and Monkeys but they sold no such meats.    The Onion soup was awesome.

I go home tomorrow and begin the process of uploading pics to this group.... there are some good ones....
