With the fence in and folks gone, I had the rest of my vacation week to fill up with projects. Good thing that is never a problem for me. As soon as my parents left on Wednesday I began digging.

I don’t hate mowing but I don’t love it either. I especially don’t like mowing areas with slopes, etc. I was also wearing a path in the grass along the back of the house to watch Lily while she uses Charles’ yard as a bathroom. So next task on the 3-year yard master plan is in put in a bed along the back of the house.

Day one I managed to get about half of the bed dug out.

All dug out. Then I put in a border of river rock along the back of the house. Lily approved.

I piled all of the sod with the old pickets. This area is turning into my trash heap. Need to get serious about this project!

Final part of the project was to put in the concrete pavers. 17 bags of 50 lbs concrete. I had very selective memory on how not fun these can be to make!

Done and looks awesome! This vacation was insanely productive! but ready to go back to work to I can sit down for a while!
