This is what 1,170 pounds of Mexican tumbled river stone looks like:
It was delivered today. They were able to drop it right next to the platforms -- so great -- because the idea of hauling 1,170 pounds of stone more than 4 feet was daunting. Two of my neighbors came to help me spread it around the platforms; it took just over an hour.
The rock was pretty dusty so I hosed it down (-- yowser it was beautiful when it was wet! Too bad there isn't a way to keep THAT look. Or is there?) The black rock versus the white was definitely the right choice, and the guy did an amazing job estimating how much I would need.
Today I'll touch up the sprout paint with sand paper and apply the water seal if it isn't too windy.
I'm thinking I'm going to email a few photos to Jamie Durie to show him what he inspired me to do!
Perfect timing to have these complete, as my neighbor and I signed up for a 21 Day Yoga Challenge yesterday on Yoga Journal dot com. One day down, 20 to go!
