We now have a side walk, our rock wall is being built, and the roundabout down the street is almost complete. We really like the way the rock wall is shaping up. We're not excited to have a sidewalk. The jury is still out on the roundabout. Here's why:
The Roundabout. If you look all the way down our sidewalk, you'll see some construction going on. That's the roundabout. It might be a good thing. Or not. Our street, Columbia Lane, gets pretty icy in the winter. Cars frequently slide down Columbia Lane. If they slow down enough, they might make it around the roundabout. If they make it around the roundabout and then speed back up, they'll crash at the bottom of the hill. We'll just have to see how that goes this winter.
The Rock Wall isn't really a wall, at all. We specifically instructed the contractor not to stack the rocks like a wall, but spread them out so there is a gradual slope up our yard. He's doing a great job of that.
Between when I started writing this blog and now, Boulder Boy had to remove all the boulders and dirt from the street because they wanted to start re-blacktopping the street.
So, now the Rock Wall is on hold until the street is paved.
More to come.? Hopefully.
