BBQ...BBQ...where art thou?

On Monday morning, Hubs finally got a hold of the landscaper guy. The landscaper guy came by that evening to check out exactly what we wanted. He measured to determine how much rock is needed to cover the area. Spray painted where we wanted our built-in BBQ. Fine. The landscaper guy told my hubs it would be a TWO day job. GREAT! Hubs called his parents and invited them over for a BBQ dinner this Saturday.

Tuesday...one of his small crews (2 or 3 guys) came and trenched for some gas piping (gas grill). They put the piping in and poured the foundation for the BBQ.

Wednesday...the crew built the BBQ base using concrete bricks (I don't know what you call them specifically).

Thursday...the crew cut and placed the flagstone counter. Grouted it all in. Then textured the concrete bricks to match the stucco texture on our house exterior.

Friday...nothing. I came home at 12:45pm after being gone all morning. There's no crew. NO work has been done. The BBQ grill pieces are in boxes on the back patio (they dropped these off on Thursday), so we assumed they'd be here putting it all in today. Then they still have to get all the rock and lay that down all over the yard.

I called the Hubs to tell him the news. I guess he's going to have to call the landscaper guy to find out when the backyard will be finished. He also has to call his parents to find out if they still want to come down tomorrow for dinner. It certainly won't be a BBQ dinner. Unless we order out. HA!
