This is the back of our house, where we put in window wells. Yes, that is paneling from the basement walls covering the holes where the windows will soon be installed. And yes, that is Michael and Faith putting the gravel into the window well. Michael did almost all of it by himself. He's a very good helper. Faith also helped by throwing in small handfuls of gravel every once in a while.The plan is to put a patio in this spot using the same pavers that make our walkway. I'd LOVE to build a pergola or some sort of covering for it, and have a fire pit. But that's really long-term. Once we finish the current basement project, put a tub or shower in the basement bathroom, build a garage, and replace the upstairs windows, then maybe we'll think about a pergola.
Anyone want some dirt? We've got plenty. After filling around the window wells, we're going to raise some low spots on the lawn. But we'll still have about a truckload left. If anyone close to us wants to do a raised garden or anything, let us know.
(Rachel, maybe I should ask Ace if he wants it.)

Child labor laws? :) He really is a great helper. I have big dreams for a patio/pergola in our back yard also. Ah....one day...
So we figured it out - after what I did, Michael shoved out about 900 pounds of gravel. Not too bad.
I am totally laughing. You say that jokingly, but he would totally want it. ha ha ha! -You guys are such good go getters with your house projects. We are SO terrible at this kind of stuff. Way to go.
