Crochet Me Crazy

Thursday and Friday seem to be turning out to be my personal project days it seems. I started out this morning getting a little mowing done before the blazing sun came on strong. Didn't clean the house today but I did at least vaccume! I wanted to get my night stand completely finished today! I have a thing about finished projects. I hate un-finished projects. So here it is all finished...painted, distressed and waxed. This dresser is such a dark stain underneath the white that it almost looks black against the white...



I also got 4 of the drawers on my big dresser finished!



I also started painting the table from my wicker furniture today but I didn't get a picture of it yet. I'll take a picture tomorrow.

We bought our landscaping bricks yesterday and then spent the rest of the day raking the white rocks from our driveway into our carport. Today, was the big day. The dump truck came withe our load of crushed granite. We got him to drop it in 4 very large piles in different places. So began our day.






We've only just begun...



Making headway...but there's still a lot of dirt left in that one pile and we're really tired...and yes, Alison and I helped. We shoveled. We raked. We sweated. We're crazy.



The goal is to get that one pile at least done so we can park the cars in the carport.

We did it...here the finished product but we're probably going to have to add more to this area after it packs down. It is going to look much nicer though.



This is just a picture of the driveway area we still have to do. It's where Jeff parks.

worked that hard manually since we wor

I have to say I haven't done that much manual labor since we used to unload 18 wheelers of bales of hay at the stables! Also, I am certain I would not have been able to do near as much as I was able to do today if we hadn't been going to those classes at the YMCA!! My endurance and strength is much better now than it was when we first moved here.

So we had decided to look into renting a skid steer next weekend to finish this with. We could knock it out in a few hours and be able to get it nice and even. God, I hope it's not too expensive!! LOL We still have 3 more piles to go!
