Outdoor shower walls going up

We're using hardiboard siding to make a louvered privacy screen for
the outdoor shower. Left-over roofing screws hold the siding to
galvanized fence posts.

Rock art

Big brother designs rock pillars as art. What is little brother doing
with that hammer in his hand and that gleam in his eye?

Rock quarry

Chiseling stones in the rock quarry, preparing pieces for edging walls
and paths. Notice the new curving boxwood hedge designed to create a
driveway with pedestrian entryway into the front yard. When your land
is a building site, cars and trucks drive all over the place, making a
muddy, sandy mess. Transforming the building site into a home requires
a bit of landscaping to manage the movement of people and their
vehicles.

Screen door reinforcement

The screen door gets another layer of protection: a sheet of stainless
steel mesh at child level.

Stone paths

A stone path created with the discarded granite connecting two parts
of the back yard. Shiny-side-down makes it safely traversable when wet.

Brackets

The kitchen island gets brackets, a precaution to ensure that the
weighty stone stays in place.

Granite harvesting

Sourcing granite remnants from the local landfill to create
"flagstone" paths around the property.
