laying pavers

slowly but surely progress is being made and rocks are being removed

more than halfway!

the last rocks to go
.6-15-16 024

its a fairly long section to have cleared. 12 feet i believe.
.6-15-16 025

no more rocks!

the poor screen is giving up the ghost. its just hardware cloth stapled to a 2x4 frame.

its all coming apart
.6-15-16 031

and sagging pretty badly

next i had to use my handy dandy mattock to break up the dirt below the rocks so i could remove quite a bit of it and level the pavers.

first three buckets of dirt removed. puppy being so helpful and wandering thru. gotta check out what i'm doing over here.

molly walking into my picture. i was trying to show how high the dirt was and how much more i had to remove.

the dogs kindly left footprints in the sand i was trying to level.

this angle shows better how much dirt i had to remove to get the pavers level with the existing concrete slab.
.6-15-16 043

level!
.6-15-16 044

three MORE buckets of dirt removed
.6-15-16 048

this is where i ran out of energy and stopped. it rained a whole bunch and the dirt was mud and i've run out of places to dump it. and now weeds have popped up like crazy in that dirt. i did pick up more bags of sand. here you can see my tomato plants that got too tall for the tallest shelf in the greenhouse.
