In order to keep the new studio from flooding, I have been working on the property”s drainage system. The old concrete was holding water at the entrance and had to be cut away and then a large rectanglular area was dug along with a deep and long trench for a french drain. I’m so grateful for the help of two fantastically hardworking young men. I could not not have dug this myself. I have been moving huge rocks around, I pay for it later, but I’m thriilled I can do it. I’ll post a picture of the big hole with the rocks later. Today’s photos show the river gravel being dumped at the top of the yard. These form a sort of dry creek along the sidewalk that leads to the studio. The sound of them pouring off the truck was second only to the sound of the waves crashing down and dragging the rocks backward along the sea wall in Puerto Villarta. I’ll be ordering more as the work progresses and a friend says he has equipment to record it so I can hear it over and over. That’ll make it even more fun. I love rocks. Good thing, too, since today I must build a retaining wall around the sunken patio.
