Paving!

We had decided to pave the back yard and this weekend was crunch time. On an unseasonal 30 degree day we set about digging up the back yard and filling it with sand.

Dan helped us out and even posed for a few photographs!

The ground is so dry that it was kicking up a lot of dust. Even with the masks on we were picking black boogers from our noses all the next day (eww!).

Karl also helped us out and you can see his legs in the photo above. His girlfriend came along too. She has only been in Adelaide for a few days, having flown over from Japan. So far, apart from Karl's flat, she has been to the dump, our dirty back yard, and the industrial place where we got the sand!

Here's a photo of me in case you thought I didn't do any work! It was taken by Michelle from the comfort of the kitchen though. Michelle and her Dad were excellent in ferrying the rubbish to the dump, unloading it all, and collecting all the sand.
