Looks great!
Looks like you are in a quiet neighborhood!

Yep, neighbors are quiet except once a year they get rambunctious! Haha.
Actually, those are great neighbors!

That's the word for the thin cement coating on the CMUs...

I had a local Amish mason that did all the work. Quite an artist!

Indeed. I was not kidding about the quality of the work. Even though it was to be covered!

But I think you must be stuck with beer on the brain... It's parging, not sparging. Haha

So that is wheat straw.

Don't be surprised if a little bit of wheat sprouts too.

Lawnmower will keep it at bay. Unless you want to brew with it?

Very nice. I like that a lot.

Yep, you always get some weed seed mixed in but that's pretty easy to get cleaned up.

At least the neighbors are quiet!

Honestly, when we were first considering buying it, we had concerns.
Now that we live her, we absolutely love it.
Memorial services, a nice place to go for a walk, quiet neighbors, and plenty of drive through from the local police.
After a burial, my wife always welcomes the new neighbors as well! Good sense of humor I guess.
