Progress has been sighted at PeacefulPines


My to do list turned out a bit more than I had originally planned for this summer. With the  shed leanto collapsing this winter there has been quite a bit of building going on.

 

 And, since I was upgrading that side of the shed, I thought I'd go ahead and upgrade the wall that leads down the driveway. Sometimes I am surprised that what my mind sees actually makes it out of my head and looks the same in real life as it did through my mind's eye.



The down side of the block installation is that each block weighs 70 pounds. And, yes, Gary laid each block himself. Did I mention I smashed my thumb? And, yes, Gary's back is really sore. And, yes, Gary was not the smartest person making that decision.

But, it is done and we are off to the next project. 



That would be the fire ring. I am using the bricks that I got last year at an auction. We planned a long time ago that I would eventually level the area. Actually, when my sister, Linda, did a back flip while trying to eat breakfast one morning, and after we stopped laughing, we thought it should be leveled out. So there is that. 

And then, perhaps, if my body holds out I will tackle the canoe landing area.

But, for now, it is time to get ready for our tee time. After all, all work and no play.......

FORE........

I know it's in the trees somewhere, hmmm, is that poison ivy?
