One man and a shovel today......

Post by fortyshooter » Thu Nov 05, 2020 7:27 pm

Picked up my 1 1/2 ton of gravel and got it shoveled into the shed and tamped for the floor 4-8 inch deep. Was a great 70 degree day for this kind of work and about wrapped up on this project. After the work was done had some time to enjoy the later afternoon with a cold brew...just one... and a little friend who stopped by....one of the new neighbor's dogs and I'm assuming a squirrel dog the way he came running up after shooting one round of Alaskan!

A nice friendly dog but he was keen on eyeing the trees and romping around looking for something to hunt. He and my Buster might get along
since he likes to hunt for anything that moves.
Anyway it was great to enjoy another fair weather day and get some work done. Finish up a bit of drainage work and I'll be loading up the new shed space!
