Patio & Library
Thursday, December 15, 2011 at 9:51AM Work has begun on both the landscaping & on the wine library shelving. The area below the large oak next to the tasting room is being surfaced with permeable pavers, & will include a good deal of stone work as part of the landscaping.
This first photo shows the patio layout with the future paver area to the left, & stone work beginning to form up on the right:
Next is a look at wall work in progress. The walls are being build “dry stacked,” that is, without use of mortar:
And here is a shot of shelving in progress in the Wine Library. I’ve calculated that the Library will hold slightly in excess of 9,000 bottles, or enough wine to provide me with the pleasure of 1 bottle per day for the next 24.9972603 years. A burden that must be born:

I'm sure that after finishing this project, you will have good results. I specifically love the dry-stacked wall. At this point in time, it already looks good. How much more if it's already finished. Good luck to you Sir. I hope you'll have the patio and library that you want. Have a good day!
