Just deal with it!

First thing this morning,
we decided to deal with the problem-
the BIG rock!
 
Amazing what a diamond blade
on a grinder can do!
Mickey removed about an inch and a half
from the top, making it workable. 

Doesn't this look fun?
It is actually more difficult than
you may think.
With a little experince,
it becomes quite versatile.
Mickey and the bobcat moved
an entire load of gravel from 
just outside our gate!
A load?
Well it is 12 yards or
one dump truck full.
Or approximately 20 scoops.

The handwork begins!
Level...
Scrape...
Level...
Smooth...
Level...
Scrape...
Level.
Smooth and level!
A little more electrical work done,
but not quite finished.
It is time to cook our first meal
in the new outdoor cooking area.
Just a little more work.
What a wonderful area!
Notice the smaller rock trying
to act like a flagstone.
We will do our best to make it
fit in properly.
We will deal with it.
For now, we are very pleased.
Having located our flagstone
at a quarry near Trementina,
we are anxious to make the purchase
and get back to work!
