Project Bochie Ball continues....

So Saturday we slowed down, way down. We had trouble, we had trumpet, we had frustration, we had a decision to make...to keep going or to reconsider entirely. In the end we both decided to keep going. Even though we will more than likely need TWO more 20 TON Truck loads of decomposed granite delivered...that is 40 ton's more to shovel. OR if 1 ton equals 2,000 pounds then we have 80,000 more pounds of rock to move, before our court can be played on.

Saturday progressed very slowly; I for one was not feeling super energetic, still feeling a little beat from Friday shoveling the first pile of decomposed granite. Our planning skills were not to par, but we managed to overcome our lack of planning and just went with the flow and dealt with the frustrations of a bochie ball court that was not coming out square or even or straight. We sat and we thought, I sat and rested more...sat and thought what are we doing...why aren't these posts lining up, why didn't our holes we dug with the auger line up...why isn't this first section square..why...why...cry....why?

Creating an in line squared and level bochie ball court is not easy...but it is doable! Here are the pictures from Saturday....

ok, so we did rent an auger, but when Clayton returned it he bought a post hole digger;

we/he had to basically redig every hole...

The photo above is as far as we got by lunch time...
