And now, back to the show...

So here are the updated pics I should have posted yesterday. Most of the stone caps for the walls have been installed. I am feeling a bit of angst about this though because evidently the stone supplier is having trouble finding more of this stone so that he can complete our order and we can finish our walls... grrrr.
Me being the anal retentive individual that I am, I would definitely NOT have installed any of it until we could be sure that we would get all of it. Now what happens if they can't complete our order??? Half the wall will be capped with this stone and the other half with...???? Not thrilled with the contractor for making that decision, but he swears that he will get the stone from somewhere even if he has to carve it out of the ground himself. I intend to hold him to that. :)
It does look nice though - finally starting to come together!



We also have some of the stone cap put in on the pre-existing wall around the other side of the front - right now it is only on the pillars at the end of the wall. See the before and after shots below.

Since the weather should not be an issue today, I expect to see a lot more progress when I get home this afternoon. My contractor said he thinks he will be done with our entire project by next Saturday...I think he must be high. We still have so much to get done, but we'll see. :)
