West Gate


This past summer I began to make plans to do a bunch of projects. I plan to complete all the projects by New Years. The projects are categorized by area. The definition of complete is a moving target. The best I can to is decide to take on one of the projects and do it to the best of my ability with the materials I have on hand. My budget for new purchases is very low at this time.
In the summer when I was assessing projects I took pictures and wrote a brief description of the project. The top photo is for the project:West gate. I planned to improve the path through the gate. I had some ideas. Basically I felt I would finish it with some kind of pavers on top and that is about the extent of my planning at that time. The bottom photo is the current state of that area, and I am calling this project done.
Although it is done, the area is still subject to further improvements.
