I found this GREAT DEAL on pavers at the RE-Store.....enter... the next Big Idea...
Those pavers would make a great patio!!! I started digging....and digging...and moving the dirt in my Gorilla Cart to other ends of the yard.
Somewhere I read that you should put down landscape fabric first. That was wrong, as hindsight is enlightened; I know better now, but I'm NOT going to dig out the 6000lbs. of gravel I hauled in AND compacted. If you look closely you can see that I dug too deep. At that point I realized I needed another 3000lbs of gravel. The thoughtof hauling and shoveling more gravel was too overwhelming. So there is sat for 6 months.
In Florida, summer is the rainy season. This gave me another great idea........ Lets build an outlet for all that water!
Later I had the bright idea to put boards up to show where I wanted the top of the pavers and establish the slope. The boards were even at the time, but winter set in and there they still are. Since then, I have decided to hire a professional. Doh...............
But the river is working.
