Helping out

A neighbour of ours wanted to lift some paving slabs and replace them with gravel. When the slabs were originally laid they were put down without any weed suppressant underneath them, and it was a constant battle for our neighbours to pick out the weeds. So yesterday was day one of ‘Operation driveway’.

As the blocks were lifted, we stacked them into the back of the car, and took them back to ours, as we are hoping to reuse them on a little project we have in mind. We think that we’d like to use them under a seating area halfway up our slope, at the back of the house. That’s maybe a spring project to look out for. For now though, they have been stacked in the barn.

Back at the driveway, we made sure all the weeds were removed, and then Brian raked the area flat ready to lay the membrane. The gravel is being delivered on Wednesday, so it needs to be prepped and ready by then.
