14 Tons

I know Ryan & Ashley will probably post a blog on this, but I hope they don't mind if I share some photos of today's fun rock shoveling landscaping activity at their house. Yes, it was 14 tons of rock to shovel and move to the backyard and we completed the job in one day! I have to say their yard looks very nice.

Some people shovel rocks and others just climb to the top of the pile and slide down.















The wheel barrow crew.















The back yard crew.















14 tons divided by 6 cubic feet per wheelbarrow load makes how many trips from the driveway to the backyard?

You don't even want to know.
















Before











After











"After" on the other side of the pavers.
















This was good practice for the rock moving I think we will be doing at the new house later this month. Just another reason why it's not a good idea to buy a new house . : )

So how come you bought a new house?

The : ) smile was there to say "just kidding." It's a bit of irony.

It is nice to have a new house, but it is better to have family to make it a home.

It is nice that many hands make a lighter load.

It would have been impossible without your help. Thanks again!
