We love Ramona. The wide open spaces...the warm, dry air...the wind in the trees, and the babbling creeks running through it all. Jon had been instrumental in the renovation of the main house many years before followed by the ground-up construction of a new custom two-story barn and caretaker's home to replace those that had been lost in the CA Wildfires of 2006. So, when there came an opportunity to expand on this ranch's charm with a new sprawling arbor among the orchard and shady oaks, he was thrilled to be invited back for that job as well. Partnering up with long-time friends and builders on this project, it was a true community undertaking to create a space that would welcome hundreds under the grapevines as the family enjoys holding huge annual events with live music, art exhibits, and down home cook-offs. But, there needed to be a better place to sit and enjoy all the great food beyond the usual camping chairs. The custom arbor had to be long enough for at least a dozen picnic tables to sit under the stars with columns wrapped in stone as well as swings, electricity, and a storage building to match. Later, Jon was also involved in the construction of custom wood bridges over the creek and an outdoor theatre nearby the Arbor, another welcome addition for the family who has everything, and enjoys sharing it with those they love.
