13 hour day of platepacking
Originally uploaded by justinmaple
We had a long weekend of moving gravel by hand and packing it down to make our pad area level.
Its all done now, flat and level within 1/4". We kept the packer an extra day and went ahead and wrapped up the driveway too. We got a fairly significant amount of rain on Sunday morning, so I packed and packed and packed the driveway. The rain lets the silty base absorb the sand and gravel topping and creates a concrete like material. It was really a pretty nice day. Cool from the rain and then occasional bursts of sunlight through the clouds. No bugs for a change too.
Chrissy is by far the toughest woman I have ever known.
We moved about 6 yards of gravel with shovels and wheelbarrow, spread it and packed, packed and repacked it, shot elevations over and over and worked until 2 am.
