Step by Step

Raise your hand if your next thought was "day by day, fresh start over a different hand to play"
Yah?!
Raise your hand if you are now singing the whole song!
Now raise your hand if you actually raised your hand!

Moving on

Lots of work got done today and we are almost done with the patio!!!
Keep in mind that each of these bags are 50lbs a piece!!

Getting gloves on and a drink of water before we get to work

Cut the bags open

Stand them up so it looks like some kind of paver base bag grave yard

have the boys dump out contents!

Gary workin hard!
remember, 50 lbs bag of rocks that is 1/2 dumped out. So he's probably dumping out a good 25lbs of rocks here!!

Did it all by himself

meanwhile....


Rake out the rocks

This is what it would look like if you were hiding behind our house

A close up of the pavers after they have been laid

A small break to water the garden

By 9:30 they decided they needed to take their shirts off and haven't put them back on since. It's almost 70.

Sweep the sand in

Voila!


Almost done! Just have to dig the fire pit, finish the sidewalk to the shed and do the raised flowerbed under the playroom window!
