It looks like it is uneven but when I ran a level across it there were no dips in it. There is a low spot in the yard there so I figured it is an optical illusion.

Keeping Rosie Happy!
by Barnyard » Sun Apr 29, 2012 8:08 pm
Rosanne has been after me to do something with her weed flower bed around the flag pole for quite a while. Yesterday while looking through craigslist I found an ad for landscape retaining wall blocks. The guy had 150 used ones for $50.00. That's not bad since new ones are about $1.80 each. Naturally being the cheap guy I am I have to give the guy a call. He said to come and get them. They were still lining his patio and we had to take them around to the front but that was no big deal. I ended up with almost 200 of those suckers (about 25 cents a piece) and Rosie finally got her border.

It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.

Looks good, Bill. If you lived closer, I'd give you a bucket of bulbs! (buttercup & iris and maybe some daylilies)

Nice job, had it been me however, they would be forming a nice solid flat area around the pole covering up the weeds.

All those Cubs and all the implements that go with them...... and you're using a shovel!?!?!? 
I guess that proves that you need another Cub, with the implement for putting rocks around the flagpole.

Eight years working in excavating taught me everything I want to know about shovels from digging out ditches (especially the one that caved in on a co-worker! He lived.) to cleaning the dozer tracks with a duckbill. Oh boy, those were the days!

If I had to do it over, there would be grass all around that pole that I could mow.

Dan, you'd have to give them to Rosie. I'm not much of a flower child.

Did Mott or Woods or maybe even Prewitt make a rock placement implement.
If I had this in my driveway I would have saved some work!

Really nice upgrade Bill, looks great...
You did get all the building permits required didn't you.
We hope to see it up close pretty soon.
