The path less traveled – part I

Paver Project – Day 1:
So we have our new door (B.T.W. – Gino did an awesome job!) and now we need a walkway, so we aren’t walking in the mud. Therefore the paver project begins. Some might ask, “Why pavers and not concrete?” Because concrete takes to long to dig out (if you want to do something different later down the road) and pavers you just lift them up and move. No back breaking work there and other reasons too but we won’t go into that…

Gino went out after dinner and began the back breaking job of digging out all the rock to make a nice sloped level base. He dug 6 inches down and 4 feet away from the house and 30 feet long of pathway.

He didn’t get finished this first night.

Paver Project – Day 2:
Since it’s a work day, Gino again headed out after dinner. He actually got all the foundation digging finished this night of the paver project.

Rounded the corner and working toward the back corner of the house.
Almost there!

Isabel just loves playing out here and getting dirty! It was very chilly this day with a breeze, so I made her wear a hood. She didn’t mind and it kept her hair outta her face too.
