Well it got on up to about 58 this afternoon, by the time we got out to start digging. SirKit dug more of the trench, and I backfilled the area behind where we placed the sand. I did some grading of the soil so that the rain would go around that area on each side, and not fall into the hole. Then we put 3" of gravel in the trench, put the drainage pipe in, filled around and covered it with gravel, and back-filled the trench with dirt. Then we covered the whole area with plastic and tarp to keep the rain out. We covered the deck posts, on the other side of the yard, and the area underneath, with a tarp.
I's tired! We yelled upstairs for Joseph to fire up the oven and get a pizza out of the freezer. I took two tylenol, so now I'm just sitting, waiting for supper to be done. Actually I'm only having a little slice of the pizza, then I'm gonna have one of my Leanie Cuisinie meals and some veggies. I think I got plenty of exercise already today, so no walking needed.
