Well, it is Easter Weekend and Jared has the work lined up for us! Jared always gets Good Friday off and Kristina decided to take Good Friday off because she needed a mental health day. Let's just say it is good that she didn't need a physical health day. Jared had 9 tons of crushed rock delivered on Thursday morning so it would be ready and waiting for us on Friday morning. What a husband!
We got up Sunday morning and we starting shoveling and moving rock! We made some good headway, but it always takes longer than you think. Here's a shot of our progress as the morning went on and on and on...
However, here's a preview of our updated work. The gravel beds were already in place (for the most part) -- we just had to refill and do some cleaning up a bit.
Our course Indy had to be involved. She was out front with us supervising.
Here's a shot of her getting bored! Crazy dog!
Note that her front paws are always crossed! What a little dog!
More shots of our progress! This one took more work than you might think. There was a fair amount of ivy that had to be cleared out and Jared worked on raking some of the larger rock back to make way for the crushed rock!
Side of the house needed a refresh and refill...
Lost one of the lights along the driveway when the guys came to clean the roof...
Along with shoveling rock, Kristina also moved a woodpile for the 3rd or 4th time. Our woodpile is the smaller one; the neighbor's is on the right and it the larger one. We figured that is as good of a place as any to stock wood. Most likely wood neither of us would ever use.
Add more rock to the path around Indy's area as well. This way we should be able to get larger items back to the backyard even when it is muddy!
And of course the path needed a fair amount of rock, and of course it is the farthest away from the rock pile in the front!
Kristina also cleaned out around the shed out back and made it look tidier as well.
So much for having a restful 3-day weekend!
