Well, after five years of saying that this would be the summer we would add stone - we finally did it!
Boy there was a lot of prep work. We started out by planting some bushes along the south side of the house, and along the front of the house to "finish" off the landscaping.
Then I called a friend of mine in the construction business and asked to have 10 tons of stone delivered to the house.
Oh - and did I mention it was the hottest week of the summer this week too?
I had to work all week, but it was Brian's week off. He hauled stone for DAYS. He said that he lost 12 pounds sweating when he was hauling stone.
Here are some pictures to show you how the Smith house looks now. We are pretty happy with it. It will be nice not to have to devote a whole day to pulling weeds anymore!
