Day 11

Saturday May 6
At 7:30 a.m. Randy saw that one of the guys was building our planter area, but it wasn't the way we wanted it. He went out to talk to the guy and it was decided to wait until we have further conversations about it with the contractor. When the job first started, we were describing how we wanted the veggie area built out, and the contractor seemed unclear about what we wanted and said later we would hash it out so we get what we want. But that conversation never happened. At least this time we caught the problem before large amounts of effort were expended leading to something that wasn't the way we wanted it.

Today ferns, groundcover, and other small plants were planted. We went out to do some errands and we brought back cookies for the guys, but when we got back around 1:30 they had already left, so we'll have to see if they want any of the cookies on Day 12.
