The stone arrived this morning
When I started moving up to the back yard, I realized just how big a job it was going to be to move that much stone. My invoice noted that there was 13,000 pounds of stone. Fortunately, my neighbour, Joseph, came to the rescue and helped me get the job done. The stone arrived this morning at 10:00 and we moved the last of it at 3:30. The hardest part was the three stairs from the driveway up to the back yard. I made a ramp that helped, but it was pretty steep to push a wheelbarrow full of stone up. Tomorrow, I'll work on the retaining wall.
After we finished, I hopped in the car and drove up to the Forks of the Credit for a couple hours of fly fishing....

I bet you stepped bare legs into the river after all that lugging...my god, how is your back tonight. It's reallys cary seeing that flat and so full. Yikes. Well its nice to know you'll be staying out of trouble all week. I do wish Stagg and I could help...love the ruck...way to go getting the pic of it!
How on earth did you have the energy to do anything after that job? Whew!
Well Diana, I truth be known I had very little energy, but the 1 hour drive to the river was relaxing, and I didn't work as hard a usual on the stream. Still I caught a nice trout!
Good Heavens mr anchovy...
What I want to know is how did you feel two days later?
A big job deserves a big break,..well done!
I'm impressed. This is a massive undertaking. When you said you were going to re-landscape your yard you meant you were going all out. It's shaping up.
Glad you had some help to move all that stone.
