Bricks Revisited

Fall is definitely here.  The leaves are turning, although it does seem a bit late to The Fuzz.

Over the weekend, The Fuzz decided to tackle a project that has been in the queue for a while now.

This brick walkway was put in when we first moved to our new Home in the Woods.  Over time, the timber shoring it up had slid off the edge of the bank.  This has caused the bricks to separate, as can be seen here.

The Fuzz had been putting this off (as he has a tendency to do at times) probably thinking it a bigger job than it was.  But, it was finally time to deal with it.

First he pulled up the worst of the bricks along the edge.  Next he reinstalled the timbers, this time securing them with pipe driven into the ground.  A bit more fill was added, and the bricks replaced.

He finished up by removing most of the grass poking though, and sweeping some fresh dirt over all to fill in the cracks and spaces.

Sure, it's not up to "professional" standards, with a gravel sub bed and all that.  But it will do nicely for our Home out here in the Woods.
