To “celebrate” Labor Day…we began the process of building our beds for the backyard. I built the bed, while Sarah chased Maria and Lucy to keep them out of the way and safe. I’m not quite sure which of the jobs was more difficult considering our two daughters pension to be in the way and do things they shouldn’t. My favorite trick was Lucy coming over while I was building the cinder block wall and dropping the ball into the holes time and time again. Funny the first time, annoying there after.
We now have one bed, the easiest to build, done. Once the base was built, it was pretty easy. I’m still debating whether or not we need use the “liquid nails” to attach all the bricks together. Wouldn’t be too hard do a quick tear down and glue everything together. I think it turned out pretty well…it’s even level!
I started in on the second box that will involve cinder blocks…but I ran into some challenges that I have to figure out before proceeding. So far my solutions involve tearing up more lawn to move the box 6 inches away from the fence…or trimming my cinder blocks to fit around the concrete that holds the fence posts in place.
To end…a few pictures of today and the completed box.
