Yard Work

We thought we'd plant something in the front yard that isn't a trailer. The boys left on Monday night.

TUESDAY AFTERNOON:

Tuesday afternoon we rented a rototiller and Chris got to work on the hard soil.

WEDNESDAY:

Wednesday morning we had one and one quarter yards of washed sand delivered. We spread it evenly over the yard, Chris tilled again. Wednesday afternoon we had seven yards of soil amendment delivered; we spread, Chris tilled. 

THURSDAY:

Thursday we went to a landscape supply place and selected stones and ordered crushed rock and sand. We layed out the walkways etc...We also dug, dug, dug up the soil where the paths and patios would go.

FRIDAY:

Friday morning the crushed rock was delivered; we didn't spread it yet. We had to continue digging the pathways. Chris rented a compacter for the compressing of the stone.

SATURDAY/SUNDAY:

Saturday we had a hired hand help with moving the rock and spreading it.

Sunday more rock moving and compacting.

MONDAY:

Monday sand and stone was delivered. Moved the sand and tried to level it. Started the stone installation. Installed the fountain.

We figure we're less than half way done with this project. We're taking a couple days off. I'm going to Massachusetts for a few days. We'll all be back Saturday night. Then we have to get the barn cleared out. Boy, do we have a lot of work ahead of us.
