Walk This Way
So
A little pre-work before the major construction starts.
The existing walkway swings over to the driveway that is eventually going away. Since most people (including the mailman and my daughter) walk straight across the lawn anyway, we decided to put the path where people actually walk. This was a three weekend project as we had a few hours in the morning to do the work before we were roasting in the mid-day sun.
It just happened to work out that we had exactly the right amount of stones to do the work. This is nice considering having to buy matching stone would have been a real challenge.
I can't tell you how many people stopped by to offer helpful suggestions like 'you know you can pay someone to do that for you, right?' But what if we enjoy doing this sort of thing?
The finished product gets a lot of compliments and actually looks like it has always been there.
