Wow, Dan! That looks so nice. What a great job you have done. You're gonna get a ton of enjoyment out of that... this winter after a nice steak and potato and a quiet glass of port around the pool. You are proud!

Dan, your stone is almost identical to my fireplaces, so of course I love it! I'm going to Napa to get some port...

Thank you everyone!
When the weather cools down we'll have a party and you are all invited. :o)

Thanks everyone! I'm very happy with the outcome of this project.

"...so what's next on the list?"

Only 2 major backyard projects remain. In all likelyhood a new and bigger storage shed will be next. You'll see when you are here for the rendezvous that I really have an immediate need for one!

For the project after that, I have reserved the back corner of the yard next to the BBQ for a firepit/conversation area. I'm still mulling over design concepts that will allow me to include all of the things I want and still fit in the alloted space.

After that it's into the house for a kitchen remodel and all new flooring throughout the house.
