Summer Project #1

Flying solo...

On your mark, Get set, DIG!

Being single sometimes is for the birds!

I miss doing home projects of some sort with a spouse. Another warm body helping with this project would have been nice. We wouldn't fight, we would work together like two peas in a pod, (wink)! But then I wouldn't own 100% of the bragging rights to this little number!

I laid this little brick walkway all by myself, thank you very much! Did I mention I did it ALL in ONE day? Yep, one day. Minus all the neighbors stopping by to see what I was up to, I would say it took me about 4-6 hrs. Working around the tree roots was a royal pain, but worth the effort. I really like how it turned out so far, and I am almost finished. I still need to plant a few bulbs, add pea pebbles and river rock. The 40# rock bags are still sitting in the driveway, right were I dropped them.

Oh, and on a side note...my arms are shaping up nicely. Load and unload 40# bags of sand, stones and a stack of bricks does a body good.

Hot diggity, diggity

Notice my nice stacking job

Short a few bricks (ha), and too many roots!

Decided to split a hosta and fern to add more green.

The middle spot is missing a brick because of a huge root knot.
Lowe's sells a 1"depth brick that I am hope will do the trick.
