The visit by the main architect went well. We decided on fiberglass planters with a well at the bottom, similar to an earthbox, and in a dark brown. Currently not much is going on, there are still a couple workers here every day finishing off the support for the sink faucet and smoothing the concrete on the tables and pond. Honestly, most of the time when I go up there at least one of them is just leaning over the wall watching the street. Not my problem though, labor was part of the bid. I think that mostly they are waiting for the plumber and electrician (same guy) to return and finish his work and for the lights and faucet and planters to be delivered.

They moved the plants back against the wall but that is not where I want them so I think tomorrow morning I will take advantage of the muscle power and have them rearrange them. The end of a job always seems to go slowly, I think because you can see it is almost done and think they should just get on with it.

I'm going to have to have my bedroom and bathroom scoured from ceilings to floors and probably painted as well. I'd like to get that done next week if they would just move on.
A day without sunshine is like, you know, night.
