planter

We are building a planter in the backyard. It's right off the side of our back patio. We have a bit of a slope there and thought that would be a good idea. Well we were going to use railroad ties, but thought better of it and went with bricks instead. Well we decided if we want to get right on it Saturday morning we should buy them ahead of time. So we run to Lowe's Thursday night. We don't have a truck you see, just a little Honda Accord. So this was quite the adventure. After we got everything we needed loaded onto the flat bed cart, Kevin needed help pushing it to the cash register, it was SO heavy! So a helper bee from the garden center was super nice and helped Kevin. Well i watched in horror as Kevin starts loading it into the car. Of course all the while he keeps telling me it's going to fit. Well yeah it fit but will be bottom out and be complete low riders?! Well we were definitely low riders but we made it home, very slowly. A guy even pulled up next to us in his big truck offering to take them to our house for us, if we lived close by. Which we don't. But thanked him for the offer anyway. We still need to weigh the bricks to see how heavy they are. Enjoy the pictures.

* There were 30 of those bricks, 4 bags of rock, and plastic tubing. We had 2 bricks up by my feet, so i rode home with my feet on the dashboard.
