Relatively unexciting weekend overall. More digging and some image post-processing of shots from our trip to England a couple of years ago (yeah, it seems to sometimes take that long to get these things done). I’ll probably post some galleries here once I get some decent sets of shots finished. Mostly focused on shots for Lorna’s scrap-booking first though.

Finished digging out the main trench for the walkway and back-filled it with sifted clay to the level that I want to start from. I’ll likely wind up putting another inch or two of base in there before I get to layering in the aggregate.

The main trench finally done.

I did find out that the ‘T’ on the trench (which I had thought was fine) is actually neither wide enough or deep enough. I’m in the process of getting that addressed at this point.

Not deep enough…

I’ve been dumping the sifted soil from this area down the front slope as that is more convenient and I’ve got plenty of material in the piles that were dug out earlier to top up this trench once it is deep enough.

I’m also putting the left over small rocks (from the sifting process) on the paths up to the far side of the driveway. I had planned to put crushed rock here, but the supply for the parking spot was used up elsewhere and these stones are available so I’m expecting that they’ll do.

The weekend finished on a down note at one of the life cables for the garage door snapped. Amazon did come to the rescue as they have replacement cables and so I should have a pair (may as well replace both) in hand by mid-week.
