Rockin' Out


Ok, the first thing I have to say is OW!

There are 640 muscles in the human body - let me again, say OW! - and we have used (and abused) most of them.
About the rocks I mentioned in my previous post...they're here! Each of these pallets hold a ton of rock.
The sheer presence of these pallets also made the neighbor mad. Why? We have no real idea - apparently, he is just being mad, for mad's sake. He even had his visiting family out there ranting about them...when we pulled into the driveway...and caught them. (oh, its gonna be a long summer)
This mode of transportation was the best idea (thanks, Fred). Steve would load them from their cages onto the dolly, I would drive them into the yard and dump them. This picture was the last one taken after seven hours of working - I had to remind Steve to smile. As a reminder: OW!
Here is the dumping ground, which explains some more of the whining (and why the only remaining UNsore muscle is in my forehead). We also removed a 5-foot area of sod (50 ft long), where you now see the rocks placed. With everything else we did, we only got ONE ton of rocks moved. This will be done along the other side of the yard, too.
That was yesterday. This morning, we are headed out to remove the remaining sod pieces on the opposite side of the yard, before going to Mom/Fred's for Easter dinner. So much for that muscle in my forehead.
