BUILDING ROADS AND BRIDGES, THANKSGIVING 2017

Mary was off from work Tuesday through Sunday so we spent six days swimming, playing and digging up a lot of our property.

The outer property joins the main residential property across a drain canal. We've been working on building a bridge between the two properties, it started with dragging a big heavy 10" culvert drain pipe into the ditch, then covering it with massive amounts of top soil and mulch. We let that age for a couple of months and it's become quite solid.

We liked the way the top soil and mulch turned out so we decided to extend the bridge further to firm up and define where to drive lawn mowers, go karts and mini bikes.

Forty one-cubic foot bags of top soil and 30 bags of mulch later
