Today ended with the guys going the extra mile to help us lay down some brick pavers. In actuality 7 guys created a beautiful brick courtyard in about an hour. All perfectly level and smooth. This was something that I was supposed to do and it wasn't in the contract. They have definitely earned the baked goods Vanessa has been making and will continue to bake in the future. I was also informed that at case of PBRs goes a long way... Point taken, look for them on Friday. Besides that the guys finished the cedar shingles on the bump out. Nailing up the shingles is tedious work and it takes a true craftsman to get all of the angles correct on the 3 sides of this area. Adrian is the man for the job here and he has no fear of heights because he was working on a ladder which was perched on top of two levels of scaffolding. Finally the roofers arrived today at 1:30 today and worked until 8:30 (sorry neighbors) to finish the roof in one day. Oh, almost forgot... the guys spent a lot of time today forming up the drive for the ribbon paving they will complete tomorrow. The slope here is nice and smooth and it will be so much better than our old driveway which was so steep you had to spin the tires to get out. Last but not least the brick masons increased the height on the retaining wall beside the parking shelter and topped it off with a nice concrete cap that will match the look of the pier caps.
