That's how many pounds of rocks we shoveled onto our driveway today. I didn't think we could do it, I really didn't think we could do it, but we did it. We still need to do some more levelling work, but that can wait until tomorrow -- we are DONE for today!

It feels rather rewarding to have it done! :) :p

We had it delivered in a dump truck this morning. But they just dumped it all in one big pile, and we had to shovel it off by wheelbarrow loads.

Unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures of the "before" but I will get some of the finished project.

Whoa! You must have one long drive way!

I remember when we did my aunt as a "surprise"
She kept complaining how it always got so muddy.

Then she woke up one morning while we were doing it and asked someone inside the house why people were filling the cooler with ice! :p

I'm hurting so much, I can't even sleep. I am aware of every single muscle in my back and arms. Ugggggggh. I just couldn't stay comfortable laying down.




You must have one long drive way!

It's not really that long -- it's 2 cars wide, and 2 cars long. But we added about 4-6 inches in depth.

Is that about 10 tonnes??? :eek:

Wow, I pulled some weeds and mowed the lawns Saturday and still hurt - can imagine the soreness you're feeling!

Pictures of your biceps would do nicely.
