The stone columns are finally finished. The metal was installed on the roof today. 

They  also prepped the front porch  today by installing the flashing and underlayment for a metal roof also. 

After I install some stone on the  peak they will come back and finish

Beautiful gate! Who made\installed it?

I had the gate made at Trails West Gate Company. 

My wife and I took one of their designs as a starting point and customized into our one of a kind design. 

I did the entire installation  myself with the exception of having the hinges welded onto the posts and the gate opener brackets welded on. 

You can see the installation at the link below

I havent even picked my bow up this season. 

I watch deer every night while Im working come out into my food plot. 

Hoping to find time to hunt Illinois in November.

I started applying the stone. 

Ive done quite a few stone projects with cultured stone but this is my first time using a natural stone veneer.

Looking good.  Unless you like mosquitoes you haven't missed much by not hunting yet.

I had 1decent buck on camera. He disappeared a week before the season started. I think the farmer across the rd from me shot him at night. No desire to hunt Nj anymore
