The area around our picnic table was dirt and some uneven flat rocks. Marton collected some more rocks and started to build a patio yesterday. Heres a sorta before picture; Thats actually more even than the part he was working on. Heres what he has done; Does he look tired to you?:rolleyes: Where his knee is, the edge of the patio is raised about 6 inches. Everywhere you dig on my property is full of rocks. He laid them all out like a big puzzle to decide how to arrange them, then had to shore them up with smaler flat rocks underneath to make it level. The sand in between them is from the ditch on the other side of our house. The whole project $$$ FREE!

Looks real nice wrennie, it's good you have had the weather to do these lil things...we dug out a couple of the rock borders around the flower gardens yesterday. Marton does look tired...better forgive him for the occasional Weed-whacked flower...and bring him anudder beer! Good Job Marton ...oh, and Wrennie too

This is from the yard facing the house. Where the shovel is, is how far out he wants to come, and then over to the left of the table to where the hill starts to go up. See how he had to build up underneath to get the top level, its about 6" tall here. heres from the front door looking at it, where he was sitting, and then from at the kitchen window. And it rained all day yesterday and look! The sand stayed put!
