One small bargain leads to lots of work

For a while, we have been talking about ways to enhance the lower back yard area and try to beat the moles at their own game - digging tunnels that causes even the most adventurous walker to stumble and trip as the ground disappears under the foot.

Late night scanning of bargain sites yielded a raised flower bed kit and became the impetus for fixing up the back yard. The boys could hardly wait for Bob to arrive back home from Detroit before they wanted to build the box. Little did they, nor I, realize how much work was involved BEFORE the box could be placed - so this great bargain turned into long hours of hard work, dust, sweat and grit and a few trips to Home Depot. Welcome back, Bob!
