And this has also been worked on all semester.
It goes all the way around the top of the cupboard.
Right where it was years ago.......
In the process of being built.............higher than we had it before............
....with a road going across it so we now have a circle drive.........
Took TWO WHOLE DAYS to get this thing built!
Samuel, Scott and Stephen smoothing it out so it can be driven on. Pretty cool, huh? So take a look at this!!
Not even ONE WEEK after the dam is built......we get a MAJOR storm..........tons of rain.....so this is what it looks like Thanksgiving morning............
Flooding everywhere!! Because of that, we now have water behind the dam and in front of it, and water going across the driveway and road..........
Well....dad has been busy making changes to the creek.......rock walls up the side...
....making it deeper, wider, better........
....working the back hoe all day.....at least it gets things done faster than a shovel and a bucket!!!
Next, we need a buldozer to straighten out the creek...........lots of work ahead. Phew!!! I am tired already and I didn't do a thing!!
