Working on the driveway

Our neighbor works for the CAT dealer in town, so he rented a little CAT for us to work on our driveway. He needed to do some work as well, so we decided to split the cost for the weekend. Well, Clint spent most of Friday tearing out two bushes. These are BIG bushes that have really deep root systems. So, it was a lot of work for Clint. This is the bare area after Clint got the bushes out.

Once Bud showed up with the CAT, he made quick work of a couple of the other bushes we wanted removed.

In order to level out the area, they had to move a lot of dirt. Here is Clint working his magic.

This morning Dane got to ride in the CAT. He thought it was about the coolest thing in the world!!! There is something about a kid, their Dad and a CAT. I can remember my Dad working and letting me ride on the CAT with him!!! Great memories!!!

This afternoon we decided to head down to Giant Springs to enjoy the nice weather. Dane got to play in the water a little, and here he is carrying around a piece of seaweed he found. He thought it was quite the prize!!!

Anyway, tomorrow is probably more of the same, except Clint and Bud are going to be working at Bud's house. So, it has been a good weekend to get stuff done!!! Next weekend we will use the roller and get some gravel delivered. Then we will have a great gravel area to park our boat and trailer. With all the work that Clint has been doing in the garage, this will actually enable us to use the garage and pad for our vehicles and other projects!!! Woo hoo!!! I'm a lucky girl to have such an incredible, handy husband!!!
