Progress

The project we've been working on--building a rock wall to line a new garden, and then filling in the garden with topsoil, has had some major strides made over the last week. Most notably, the rock wall was FINISHED, after a lot of wheelbarrows full of ridiculously heavy rocks. I think it's safe to say we both improved our upper-body strength this week (in fact, Gabe is convinced his left bicep is twice the size of his right...no idea how such a thing could have occurred, but it did!)

We also unloaded about 3 (4?) truckloads of topsoil. This part of the project was delayed at times due to us waiting for the fence builders to start (five days behind schedule) and now we'll be waiting till they finish the portion that lines the back of the garden, decide if more topsoil is needed, and then the fun part, planting.

This is where it is now...wall finished, topsoil unloaded, fence posts in the ground

Gabe had a few helpers...a short one...

...and a crazy one. JK. Thanks Ray:)

Stay tuned for more exciting pix as the fence goes up (though its day 2 of the job and they still aren't here yet??!!) and the garden gets planted...
