Slight damper on progress yesterday… Sierra broke her leg jumping onto a rock in the creek near our house. She hyperextended it, then had to walk about a mile and a half back up the creek to get home as the sun went down. The boys helped her get back, but it was PAINFUL! We spent ALL NIGHT in the hospital getting x-rays, cat-scan, etc. They let her go about 6:30am with a stabilizing brace and we’ll have to follow up in a week or so with an MRI to determine damage to ligaments, cartilage, etc. HOPING no ACL!!!! She’s determined to go to the lake with us Saturday… no cliff jumping this time- she’ll have to just sit on a paddle board!
UMMM… is it okay when the Gravel Guy tells you your driveway is like… A WATERBED!!!?!![]()

NOPE. We just did a big ole dump at the end of the road instead of a spread. And then I tried to spread it onto the ‘waterbed’ with the excavator the best I could. It is indeed a bit of a sink hole. I’ll be cutting a ditch along the front side soon, to divert rainwater and help firm it up a bit. New projects, new education- Land Sculpting 101!
Shed progress! Painting on the roof overhang and I planted a banana tree in the corner rock circle. It looks a little sad- got watered from the barrel where we rinsed our concrete tools and it really doesn’t like alkalinity… and then it got a crazy amount of wind for a couple days. It’ll survive- might have to trim off the leaves but the roots are healthy and it’ll come back. Also made progress on the loft inside- these pictures are from Jack’s perspective 😁
