Bench privacy.

The first exciting thing that happened today was that my contractor caught up and found me today with a few colour swatches for the stain of the cedar siding. A few days ago I checked the shingle courts and narrowed it to three. The three choices are very similar, so I left it to whatever is in stock or what the contractor thinks will go better with the colours I chose.

It was raining lightly most of the day, but the skies began clearing and the sun came out... No really!

And by the time I was able to attend the site the crew had left. Look the soffit fascia boards are up.

And most of the backfil has been done... I almost have a yard again..or in this case a driveway.

I hope the ground meets the back door a little bit higher than it is right now, but we'll see.

I might need a deck out here.... It might not happen for awhile...

Now about these rocks... I have to think about the right place for them. 

Now on the south side you can see the Italian plum trees. In the foreground I see a good place to plant some veggies.... Hmm... Potatoes? Squash?....hmm....

Now back out front you can see some more cement framing for the deck support beam.

I did not go inside today because the ramp had been tucked inside the back door so the backfil could happen.

Looking good from the back bench!

I will have to create a 'good neighbour' screen of fencing or vines or something, where the outhouse sits... I have been enjoying my privacy on my bench behind it.

Yup..... It's a nice view from the bench.
