Above is a link to the new patio. It has stairs down to each room. Note the “sit walls” in the design. Our landscape architect doesn’t want to use stone veneer on those walls. I do. Real stone, which we priced this weekend, is freaking EXPENSIVE. I could possibly go with the real stone if I General Contracted this thing myself. However since I dont know what is happening with the job situation, I dont know if I can/should take that on right now with so much up in the air.
Decisions we have made thus far:
We want a gas fireplace.
We want to have stones around the outside of the Fireplace for a more “camp” feel on the other side of the patio.
We are going to go with acid stained concrete for the flooring.
Things that need decided:
Countertops made out of?
Shorten the waterfall?
Remove some of the sit walls to save $$?
Just use stone as an accent?
Concrete Paver type blocks instead of stone?
Grill brand?
Sink in the countertop?
Fridge?
Third tier needs concrete extended to the end of the house or simply do plantings?
I’m doing good workout wise this week. I dont see much improvement in my times but I dont feel like the fatigue is killing me! Yipee 
That is progress my friends.
Yesterday did a 23 mile bike ride. I forgot my sunglasses and had to go back up my hill to get them. I’ve NEVER made it up my hill on the bike. I did yesterday. Guess the hill is easier at the beginning of my ride! It was a great confidence booster.
Today I swam. We had Dinara’s two friends with us so I was interupted a lot. But I did 1000m and did lots of drills. All good.
Tomorrow could be a rest day. I’m busy busy busy tomorrow. Maybe I can do a run in the evening.
