Our new shed part one

Well...we needed a new shed because we need to tear down our garage that is practically falling down already.  So Rob's parents were coming down so Rob decided it would be a good project for his dad and him to do together.  Of course, I was skeptical, but so far it is going well. In fact, it is almost 10pm and they are still out there nailing and hammering things all over the place.  (sorry neighbors!)


Anyway, so we needed to get a cement pad put in before we could build the shed.  We called a guy to bring us some gravel for under the pad, and he showed up in this HUGE dump truck.  The thing about our driveway is that it is very long and very narrow.  But this guy looked at it and said he was up for the challenge.  Then he got back in his truck to pick up the gravel and bring it back, but then his truck wouldn't start.  

 So he sat out there for about 45 minutes until someone came to get him.  The kids just played and played. The loved it.

 Then someone came and towed him away and he didn't come back that night.  Which I am pretty happy about because he told me I would have to help guide him in...with my three kids??  I don't think so.  So we thought he was gone for good and we would have to find someone else.  But the next morning at 7:30 am we hear the doorbell and he was there with the gravel.  Haha.  Fortunately, Rob wasn't gone for work yet and he got to do the honors of guiding him in.

 And he did a great job. 

 We were all standing on the back porch watching and Emery was still in her chair from breakfast.  I looked back to see she was watching too.  So then I scooted her chair closer so she could see better.

 The kids thought it was awesome!

 and up.  

Then for the next few days the kids had a fun thing to play on.  It was funny because Sadie put winter gloves on so her hands wouldn't get dirty.

Rob spent lots of hours leveling out that gravel so they could pour the cement on top.  It was a lot of hard work.  Good job Rob!
