Week #41 — A Balinese gate, a koi pond, and landscaping begins

It’s exciting to see work on areas outside of the building footprint. It’s a sign that the end is near when plants arrive and are set in their new home.

This week we started on the Balinese-style gate:

First the basic structure, then the finishing stones and a decorative roof

We also have a small team that specializes in pond decorations, among other things:

First a wire structure, then bricks to fill in the spaces, then finishing plaster
Looks like a real rock, eh?

We are also installing natural stone as a sort-of pavement around the pool. It’s a little bit of the Flintstones meets modern architecture lol.

We will need about 70 of these mega stones
