07 June A Project...From Start to Finish As most of my loyal followers are aware...Mr. "PJ" and myself were self-employed for many years in designing and and installing landscaping. We had to semi-retire ( if you choose to use this phrase ) simply because of all the physical labor that had taken it's toll on our bodies. We still do a few projects from time to time for customers of 20 plus years. A recent one was designed and all phases of the challenge were completed to satisfaction. It was not an easy task on some of it as it involved 3 pond liners for the terraced water garden plus an arched bridge to cross over in a small space. We had never attempted to design a bridge..so this was the first. We only used a shovel, leveler, wheelbarrow, and our hands.In the end..it turned out lovely thanks to Mr. "PJ" and his brilliant wood carving talents. Underwater lights were also added and the view from his deck looking down is spectacular!
 The owner added KOI and at first they "jumped" out during their feeding frenzies, so we decided to stretch a thin net over it and cover the edges with the landscape rock from one's view. It solved the problem. Believe it or not this gentleman which we've known for years whistles as he descends his deck stairs and the KOI know it's feeding time. LOL..True story, folks.
 At any rate..thought I'd share these images with you all and you may be able to see how much physical labor was involved.. It took us 7 weeks to complete due to working over there after our regular jobs and on/off some weekends. A barren piece of ground turned into beauty.
 Oh yes, the gentleman's name is Cory..hence the pun on the album name.
Until next time..Keep Smiling.
