Today’s Run: \u00a08 x 400’s<\/p>\n

If you recall, this past Summer we build a pergola on the South side of our house. \u00a0This was to shield the house from the sun and to give us a place to congregate outdoors that was semi-sheltered. \u00a0It is time to continue on with this project. \u00a0Ground coverage.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We have a little problem with the ground surface of our pergola. \u00a0The yard slopes away from the house at an alarming angle. \u00a0We need to shore up the ground before we pour the flooring and also bring in some fill dirt\/gravel before we even pour the concrete flooring. \u00a0So many things to do but in what order?<\/p>\n

My husband had me call around to landscaping contractors and play twenty questions with them regarding what to do to make this part of the project cost effective. \u00a0I found this guy (come to find out he lives about a mile from us) who gave us an\u00a0incredibly reasonable quote. \u00a0He had the materials left over from another project, so basically\u00a0all we had to do was pay for time and labor. \u00a0Cool Beans!<\/p>\n

He and his minion showed up today and dug a little trench, tamped down some gravel, spread mortar and put down a rock retaining wall for us. He will be back to do a little power washing and then we hand over the cash. \u00a0A good deal.<\/p>\n
