Last weekend we moved 12.5 of the yards of soil referred to in my last post, plus about 6 tons of gravel. To do this I used my favorite toy… a “tool carrier”. I call it a walk-behind bucket, but whatever you call it, it moves about a wheel barrow load at a time.

Okay, I think I put about 7 hours on this machine. Kinda wish I could have my very own.
So what were we doing with all this gravel? Making a 16 x 20′ patio under the balcony! This will eventually be covered by a big deck, but for now a comfy summer patio works just fine.
The new patio!
