Scaffolding looks a little scary!


Making progress.


End of Day 10


End of Day 13 - finally done!  A 5 day job took 13 days - sure glad we were not paying by the hour!


The final finishing touch - after all the construction and heavy vehicles on the lot, we needed a new layer of gravel.  It took two truck loads for a total of 11 yards to put a nice layer down.

Finally completed day 14


Our first fire!  We will be enjoying this Ramada alot!!!


Casa Clarkson is complete!
