#255b: Gravel applied

Filed under: Random — Ryan @ 3:08 pm

Andrea and I spent a rainy afternoon moving the stones. I turns out that 2 yards is quite a bit of stone (it was the minimum for delivery).

Anyway, here is the result:

The side yard in front the fence also doesn’t drain well, so we pretty much tore it up like a cyclocross race in the wet.

Even after changing the job scope to include a 3′ wide strip down to the bottom of the yard, we still ended up with 1/2 to 3/4 yard remaining. We consolidated it and decided to wait until it dries up before moving the rest somewhere? Other side yard? Maybe the side yard in front of the fence (muddy part shown above)?

#255: Gravel fairy

Filed under: Random — Ryan @ 1:27 pm

Whilst out for a ride, it looks like we were paid a visit. Andrea and I came back to see that the gravel fairy had arrived.

The plan is to move this 2 cu. yard load of stone to finish what I have started with a dozen 1/2 cu. ft. bags. This pile is over 100 of these bags. So for $85 delivered versus 100 x $3.50 ea. at Lowe’s…

Now I need to get on moving this off the driveway. Time to get to work.
