Yes … we can!

Things are moving along fast on my new addition in Cashiers, North Carolina. The framers, electricians, roofers and painters are working hard so that we can move in soon. The new garage is waiting for doors and the new entry garden with the stone wall is waiting for gravel and soil. I have beautiful conical boxwood ready to install any day now, as well.

Building in the mountains is usually a long-drawn-out affair, but thanks to my skilled architect, Keven Hawkins, we’re moving along quickly. Have a look at the progress we’ve made—and we only started in mid April!

Yes … we can—just two months and we’ve come so far. Go team!

Here is an overview of the garden designed by Keven.

large garden pots — Large pots will sit on the wall near the gate and drive.

stone walled garden — The view of the wall from the street

drawing of garage — Pictured here is the new double garage and roof design.
