Before and after!!!

Well, we are all tired after today. We got up pretty early and after I went for a quick run we ate breakfast and headed out to do some more work on the parking area. We got 10 yards of road mix gravel delivered yesterday and our neighbor brought home the little CAT and a compacter.

Clint had already dug out most of the trench for the retaining wall, but we finished that and then put down railroad ties. Then we drilled holes through them and put rebar through them. (okay, I use the term "we" rather loosely... Dane and I did a lot of supervising!!!)
Here it is this morning before we started.
Dane and I ran the compacter a lot. Notice his cool ear muffs. We picked those up for hunting season this year and they were perfect for today as well. The surprising part was that he even left them on!!!



The finished product!!!! We are thrilled with how it turned out!!!


Tomorrow we were going to go up to the cabin, but we have decided not to. We have so many projects going on right now, and we are going to help the neighbor with his yard. We are planning on sneaking out to chase some snipe in the morning, so that should be fun!!! We hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!!!
