In my case, you primarily get a backache. I only hauled about six tons instead of the sixteen mentioned in the song, but I had a hard time thinking of any other song over the course of the two days I spread white rock on the driveway one shovel at a time.
The fill sand/clay mixture that was spread in front of the garage doors made a nice driving surface as long as it was frozen, but was very messy when thawed, so another solution was needed. I spread the white rock on top of landscape fabric in hopes that the rock won't be swallowed by the mud underneath so easily, and only ordered enough rock to cover the approach to the door where the car is parked. The picture above is a couple hours into the second afternoon when I had my routine well memorized and a misty rain kept things moist.
Oh!!! It's so delightfully cute! What a charming little barn...'twould appear we have a chicken palace and y'all now have the car palace. You are gonna paint it red and white, right? :)
ReplyDeleteIs it legal to paint a barn anything other than red and white?
ReplyDeleteOh great I had just gotten that song out of my head and I came over to check and see if there was a new post and now it's back in!! I guess that is what I get for having a weak mind! ;o)
ReplyDeleteI love your new barn!
