| The balcony roofs with rain gutters. VERY close to the tree. Another year or two should fix that. | The balcony railing is starting to go in. See how the roof overlaps between the two balconies. | Seven tons of Buckskin Flagstone patio stone was delivered...too bad it's the wrong stone. I ordered Golden Buckskin Flagstone. |

| The stone was wet down to clean off the dust. It sure brings out the color. Annie's having fun walking on the loose stones. | The space left around the tree will be filled with crushed rock. | |
