Gravel and sand delivered - check. Yesterday, I started moving gravel to the backyard four 40lb bags at a time in my borrowed wheelbarrow - the first trip of six nearly broke it. It will take about 20 trips, but my plan to just is to do a few each morning before work and the heat. Carter is my foreman watching me work, which I believe he gets from his mother.
1st Delay: It seems that a large ant colony moved in under my border. Fire ants do not make a safe work environment. I had to pull up the trim and put down a few "ant resorts." Hopefully they won't want to come back from vacation.
2nd Delay: I managed to get about half of the gravel back on the first day, without the benefit of performance enhancing drugs or Advil. Then I started on day two...RAIN! I know what you're thinking - does it really rain in Texas?!? We haven't seen rain in so long that I don't bother with the forecast. The weather man just sighs and apologizes "another brutally hot day, ugh!" After my first load this morning...full on thunderstorm. I have a feeling that moving wet sand isn't going to be fun tomorrow...
