Hard Labor

We've had a really big pile of dirt in the driveway since the girl had the new fence put in.
It's hard to tell how big it is, but I'm standing on top of it.

The girl moved most of the dirt into the back yard where she wants to make the patio. Look at all this dirt. It would be so fun to dig in!


Now the pile of dirt is much much smaller!
Let's get this patio done so we don't have to hear about it anymore. I'm all ready to pound the stakes in.
And now we can compact the dirt. I think I will let the girl and her friend Tony do that, since the machine makes really loud scary noises.
Hurry up! Let's get these bricks down.
I need to watch carefully, so they don't block the entrance to my underground city.

The entrance to the city is still open. Lets compress these bricks again!
The bricks are in. The edgers are in. The city entrance is still open! Good job!
Hmmm. This new patio is kind of nice. It's shady in the late afternoon.

The girl thinks she still needs to get a few more tons of gravel, but we think it looks pretty good. Now, where's a cold drink and a comfy chair? We're ready to lounge around on our new patio.

Nice new patio Comet and BLU! I bet you were a big help to your girl getting all that work done. Maybe you can have a party on the patio.
