I can’t believe that four days have passed since I last blogged!  It is Spring Break week here so both kids are out of school, but the project is still whipping along.  The revised plat has been approved.  We have made the necessary changes to the site plan, and I am waiting to receive it from Dave Skillen.  As soon as it gets here we will submit it in the place of the previous plan.  Hopefully, all will proceed smoothly from there. 

In the meantime, the client and I are making plans to try our hand at transplanting some of the less moveable plants.  Evidently some types of plants transplant better than others.  For instance, azaleas and dogwoods prefer not to be disturbed, but they will sometimes accept the new living conditions if all is to their liking.  Since there habitat is going to be disturbed anyway, we thought that we’d attempt to transplant those on our own. While I do enjoy gardening, transplanting large bushes is hard work, and well outside the scope of my typical services, but we have decided to take on this experimental project ourselves for the sake of the flora.  

We are also getting estimates for the pool construction.  We should have a pool contractor by the end of next week.  It is necessary to bring the pool contractor on at this time because the City will not release the Land Disturbance Permit (LDP) until they have reviewed the plans with the contractor.
