July 5

I was so defeated today. I woke up at 6am to start an epic day that I thought would end with me ready to start putting down pavers next week. Instead I used all but 2 of our bags of gravel only to find that I need to lay down another lift. That means I have to purchase, move, lay, level, and compact another four tons of gravel. I think if I had known just how much this project was going to cost in time, effort, and money, I might not have done it. The thought of moving another four tons of gravel feels depressing. But… hopefully that is the true end of it and then I’ll be really ready to start seeing the fruits of my labor. I really can’t wait to see this thing done.
