Cross over started

We STILL don't have the keys yet - The bank are not known for their speed, so I decided to go it alone and lay the rest of the drive (known as the cross over, as it crosses over Council land (where they could put a pavement)) myself!
I had two fantastic labourers (Noonie & Nutty) help me move about 5 tons of sandy soil. We then needed to lay 60mm of crushed limestone, which we fetched locally with a trailer. That was another two tons! I then used the free trailer (from the limestone place) to collect a wacker, but had to do this myself, as it was a little noisey for the girlies! (and it was lunch time!) so that's where we are today (Thursday) Next is another 2 - 3 tons of sand and the pavers, which will need to be brushed in with washed sand (another 1/2 ton) and all this is moved spade by spade!!! I'll be fitter than ever!


btw, the wacker was so heavy, I couldn't lift it back on the trailer, so I used the pavers as a ramp (arranged them in a triangle at the back of the trailer) to slide the wacker up!
Where there's a will....
