Hello everyone and Happy February! It’s so great to be writing again after missing a few weeks here on the blog.
I’m very excited to share a really neat project with you today. The Renaissance Man and I love to go for walks, and on a sunny day in late January we went on a walk around town. The views always take my breath away, we live in such a beautiful place! I seriously have to pinch myself almost daily.
The Renaissance Man was taking a few days off of work, and so we decided to target this week to finish off the path. This is where we left off, and you can read Part One of the Gravel Path Construction to get up to speed. Originally I was going to do a two part series, but this project had too many steps, so look for Part Three of the Gravel Path Construction tomorrow for the final product!
Our back yard has been a big ‘ole mud pit all winter long. The Red Jory Soil that is sought after for growing pinot noir, has been making messes in my house and was starting to drive me a little crazy. After adding a shop in our back yard to store things (which made the mud problem even worse), I declared that the next project was to build a path. I told The Renaissance Man, “We must build our way out of the mud!”
I promptly purchased a can of Surveyors Paint and we started marking away. The Renaissance Man and I came up with a 4.5 foot path tight to the fence that would wrap around the shop at the top of our yard. Easy right?
