We've just completed our 5th full day of work on the yard. I was gone to a conference last week, so nothing much got done in terms of digging. Anne coordinated a huge materials order, though, so were slated to get 8 tons of gravel and half of our block delivered Tuesday and Wednesday.We're about half way done with the trenches. Once they're dug out completely, leveled, etc., we can put in the drainage pipe and compact the gravel.The patio area is not really flat yet, but we've decided we're probably going to be putting in concrete, so flatness is not too much of an issue. Still, the grade needs to be right so that the concrete can be thick enough throughout the slab.In the back of my mind is where we'll run the water and electrical line, especially if we do concrete. Once it's in, it's in.
We're crossing that bridge when we get to it, I guess. It can wait.40 tons of dirt gone. We are so sore.
