  1. Hypertufa and succulents? Do I need to call the cops on you two? I'm not sure what they are but they sound suspicious. :^P

    Deb and I will get our list up soon...

  3. As always, more on the list than we can ever possibly get done in one weekend! It would be terrible to run out of things to do....

    We may also be adding more front deck work. It just isn't meeting our expectations - very slippery when wet! We need one of those road signs!

  5. rebecca,
    you should be able to get on as an author/admin now to do it. If you can't we can figure it out while you're here Sunday for a meal!

  6. We're going to need to deal with drainage in the "courtyard" before doing anything else over there. Any suggestions for getting the area to drain better? Maybe a big hole with a trash can filled with rocks, or something like that?
