More On The Patio & Library

First, we have below a shot of the work on the patio walls taken from the entry landing to our tasting room. As you can see, the lower dry-stack wall described in my last posting is now finished, & a second wall above it to the left is well advanced. We think that we will also build a stone sitting wall – an ellipse actually – around the base of the tree, & then on the far right (next to the machine) there will be additional stonework connecting to the railing, also on the right. These additional stones will define a narrow entry onto the patio, more or less where the machine is sitting. But note how the shadow from the railing on the right forms half of an ellipse with the stone walls on the left. Rather appropriate don’t you think, especially given that this is all about & for the Elliptical Society, & witness how the inner ellipse around the oak will, in the words of the Big Lebowski, tie the whole patio together. Wheels within wheels, or rather ellipses within ellipses, & I’m damned if the whole thing isn’t beginning to take on the look of the Vatican’s court yard:

Next we have a shot of the progress on the wine library shelving. In this case the photo was taken standing in the library room itself while looking back down the hallway towards the entry door. Each shelf defines a storage space, or bin, 25 inches wide by 20 inches high, & each bin will hold between 46 & 53 bottles depending on bottle size. Thus, the hallway alone will accommodate somewhere in the range of five thousand, seven hundred & fifty-nine bottles. What a lovely promenade that will be!

The library shelving was one of a kind. I can't wait to see how the final library looks like.

I remember seeing an old photo of my mom in Disneyland. Will send it to you as soon I see it. I hope you will feature it. LOL
