The "Short" Weekend Project

It didn't seem like this would take over 3 hours.

But by the time one digs up the bricks from the front bed,

gets distracted and starts pulling a few weeds,

picks up other bricks from a previous dismantling,

lays out the pattern,

takes off the bricks and tries to level the dirt,

applies sand for anchorage,

places bricks back in section,

re-levels and starts filling cracks with clay,

readjusts and fills under a few bricks that are not level,

it all adds up to triple the projected time.

About normal, in other words.

And now we have a (hopefully) cool three-tiered planter with herbs!
Most of which are in seed form.

And which may be situated directly under the overflowing eaves trough.

I guess we'll know in the morning.

That took till almost 3:00pm, minus lunch and other sundries. After which Ethan and I mowed lawn for two hours.

Hot/humid enough to bring on a mowing migraine.

Then supper and the treadmill, which was shortened to three miles since I just couldn't go anymore.

But the good news is that even though I forgot to have Nolan and Trevor wash the bathroom floors, Nolan's assigned floor probably got fairly clean when he spilled water on a major section during his bath.

Gotta love weekends.
