Final Touches

Jeff from Baylake Landscape, Inc. had a crew arrive early yesterday morning to put the final touches on the barn remodeling project - namely restore the front yard.

Everything was torn-up pretty good due to the wet ground, skid steer traffic and the concrete truck backing up to the building to conduct The Big Pour.   

The old foundation timbers were hauled away, rough grading performed , topsoil spread, finish grading and grass seeding.

All that's needed is a bit of rain to germinate the seed.
