The rocks have color after the rain! Who knew?

I went to Menards to buy more top soil to build up the foundation and wanted to keep Dusty from digging. So I created a river rock border. The grass clumps in front will be replanted around the front of the border. The AC and the water barrel will be leveled out soon.

The laminate has been cut and attached to the work top.  Next steps are to complete the trim work and attach the first level of the bar top.

After

Installed a rain barrel yesterday afternoon. After a sort rain this morning, we collected a full 48 gallons.

Finished product

Mmmmm, these women taste good.

As the wife and webmaster, I have failed horribly. Since we have no idea what days which things progressed, I’m just going to post a load of pictures to get everyone back up to speed.

After Day 10

Time for backsplash and electrical work.

Day 7 was spent leveling and securing so it looked the same. Day 8 was more securing and putting the first level of bar top on.

I knew leveling, squaring, and permanently securing the base was going to be a tough job. I spent about 2.5 hours on it last night and realized just how out of shape this 43 year old body is. I’m not used to crawling around on the floor, in and out of braces, and contorting my body like that. Another hour or so on it tonight and that part will be complete. Then on to the second level with more plywood cutting.
