Lots of rain…

We had over an inch of rain today, it is plenty to shut us down. It always seems like we can keep going, and then it seems to rain just enough to make it really hard to work. It’s that thing about 6” inches of mud and being very cold and wet. No fun.

We were so close to putting in the bricks on the front path, darn it. see the screeds still in the sand? ohhh soooo close.IMG_3959

The conjoined path would have looked great, the raised bed turned out very nice too!

We have most of the limestone rock in place around the boardwalk.

The backyard of yard #1 has been graded, so the water is much less of an issue than if it hadn’t been finished. We almost ordered sod for Friday, but we won’t get there now. too bad.

Another shot of the nicely draining yard.

Here is a good picture of the Mudmats we use. These are fibreglass sheets with big bamboo pipes in built in sleeves that we lay down on areas of high traffic or muddy areas so we don’t cause undo damage to the terrain or our equipment. IMG_3967
