3 days in a row and I am going to feel it. My wife has a stray one eyed cat we named Willy. He supervised from a distance as I shoveled 3000 lbs of crushed rock each day and spread it around the yard to pretify for mama bear. I will try to get pics if I remember tomorrow. It was dark when I gotted done tonight. Advil here I come!!! Only have another 6000 lbs to go, but I can cheat on that and borrow a bobcat for that work. Much better than the shovel and wheel barrel I ran the last 3 days!
Advil, and a towel covered ice pack on yer lower back. Take it from a chronic lower back condition patient. No Heat!!! Looking forward to the pics. Rest up, GS.
I still have another yard of pea gravel to move this summer (moved 2 yards last summer. Used shovel and 4-wheeled dump cart. Not sure how many pounds the pea gravel adds up to, but I imagine it was a lot less than what you are moving - I don't envy you (okay, now that you will have a bobcat to play with, I do )
This was 3 1/2 yards of 1 1/2" crushed rock. It is now morning and I am stiff everywhere but where I want to be.
Isn't that funny, Ice did nothing for me, I felt much better with a heating pad! Yes, 3 back surgeries! "don't get it" but Dr. said some people are strange...
Yikes! Hey if Heat works for you, go for it. My chiropractor wood cuttin buddy says "Nay" on the heat, so I listen to him. Trying to avoid surgery on my back- that's for dern sure.
I ruptured a disc between L1 and L2 many years ago, and cold really makes it stiff now. A heating pad and the hot tub work wonders! Go figure!
On the what's left the boulevard has rock on it but it has settled and is thin so recovering it. Driveway just so when it rains it isn't so soft n slimy.
Nice job Greenstick ... that's a lotta work. Bet your back recovers quick just looking at how nice it all looks...
This is Willy. One eye and all. Missing his left eye when he showed up as a stray 3 years ago. He is a pretty good supervisor around here now.
Hotdang.....you musta worked pretty hard because now MY back is hurting jus' looking at all the pictures..... Is Willie yawning or complaining in the last photo..
