Mans Work

I keep telling Bill he has no idea how lucky he is that he has a wife who is willing to jump in and work and not just sit on the sidelines. This weekend while he was running electrical wiring I was doing a little tweaking on our retaining wall. I was pushing dirt and gravel between the rocks and compacting it with a 2x4 board.

I have owned a rock yard for 8 years and have never smashed a finger or toe. Even on the days that I may move a ton of flagstone myself from a pallet into the back of a pick up. This happened when my thumb got between the 2x4 and the rock. Now I know why the guys at the yard jump around and yell when they smash a finger.
