On the path to completion

The single-digit temperatures of recent weeks have let go and we're back to full-steam ahead on the sunroom, for a few days anyway.

The fake-flagstone path from the driveway through the garden to the sunroom is really taking shape. This product is called "patio on a pallet" and it's made for DIYers. Yeah, right...if the Y in the DIY is willing to spend a couple days using a jackhammer, leveling the slope, and hauling a couple tons of dirt and sand. I've never been more glad to have hired someone to do the work for me.

It's been very entertaining to watch the crew assemble the puzzle path. All the shapes are numbered and come with a diagram of what goes where. My guys have chosen to ignore the numbering system in favor of a more descriptive approach.
Freddy: Hand me a Texas.
Larry: Here you go.
Freddy: Now I need a t-bone steak and an Africa...
Here's the link to the manufacturer's website if you're crazy enough to want to try this yourself.

The stucco crew applied the gray coat yesterday.

It's a very messy process...

...but this crew does a very good job of cleaning up after themselves.

They'll be back in a week, weather permitting, to apply the color coat.
The 3-step/3-day concrete floor staining process will happen after that, 

then all that's left to do is wash the windows and move in.
