We are trying to sell our house. In fact, we are meeting with a realtor tonight to discuss getting it on the market. Since my wife has accepted a job at our church, it just makes sense to move closer to town.
So in order to help out the look of the front of our house, we decided to buy enough gravel to retop it. Turns out that we needed 20 tons of gravel to put a two inch coat down. I was hoping that the driver would be able to drive forward as he dumped it so that it wouldn't be quite so much work to spread it but apparenly he misunderstood me because he just dumped two gigantic piles right in front of my garage door.
So I spent about 5 hours on saturday and 3 hours on sunday with my wife's help shoveling gravel into a wheelbarrow and spreading it. Needless to say my back is pretty sore. I decided not to work out today since I figure I did about a week's worth over the weekend.
There is still a pretty noticeable hump in front of my garage door but I smoothed it out as best I could. Hopefully no one will notice because I have no interest in putting any more effort into than I already have.
Hopefully our house will sell quickly because I'm nervous about not being able to get it sold. You never know how that stuff is going to work out.
