Hard work, part 1

Last fall, the boys alongside Bob tore down the metal shed in our backyard. This weekend, the work began to transform this area into a nice patio with a fire pit and homemade benches. The benches are already done, so 'all' that is left to do is the patio part.
Pick ax, shovels, and sheer determination was required to pull out the six concrete pillars set deep into the ground.  A few trips to our closest home repair store, and the careful stacking of large numbers of pavers and the completion is one step closer!

Now, when one of the men in the house seems absent minded, I am fairly certain what is on distracting - how to design an effective pocket gopher trap... there are many great ideas swirling around in three incredible bright brains... are we one step closer to completing this task too? An effective method to prevent pocket gopher would be a sure ticket to 'fame and fortune' as this rascal is a true nemesis of many around here.
