That is going to look really, really good.

Thanks for the comments, Jeff, Paul, John and Bob.

I'll be ready for ground cover on much of this area soon. I want to finish the connecting stairs and walkways, and then there are supports for the overhanging parts.

I've tried lots of different materials for ground cover but get the best and most consistent results from plain old Quikrete all purpose sand.  It's between 3 and 5 dollars for 50 lbs at most home supply stores.  I sift it with a wire mesh kitchen strainer to get course and fine mixes for ground cover. Once fully dried, the color is a near perfect match for my local soil. I'll post some step-by-step pics once I get to that point.

Progress on Summit Street has been slow with busy weeks at work and all of the holiday preparations, but I managed to get some work done. Busy adding wooden sidewalks and stairs.  Also, local entrepreneur/musician/restauranteur/real estate magnate Heschel Feynman (aka "Mr. Saxaphone," aka "I can get that for you wholesale" aka "Heschel the Caterer") has just built his King of Clubs Jazz Lounge at the top of the street.  It is scheduled to open Friday night or as soon as sidewalks are added so patrons can enter the club.

Thanks Curt, Greg and Jerry!

Jerry--indeed!  I keep promising ground cover is coming soon, then I keep finding something else that needs to be built in place first.  Well, sooner or later...

Cheers!
