the little brick path project...

We decided one wintery day, that we should re-set the bricks in our little pathway once spring came. Well here was our first non-frigid day during spring break so we got our shovels, cat's paw, and a hammer and went to town. We aren't sure the last time these bricks were un-earthed, but we found some awesomely old bricks. Some cracked, some with the backwards letter "F" on them (my personal fav) and then one that had some holes like a lego piece. We broke a few bricks unintentionally and some were un-salvageable from the elements, so we had to buy about 40 replacements. $9 project, not bad!
...the only "before" picture we have, after we jumped into the project...

...some of the bricks were covered by about 1/2" of dirt and grass, so we had to pry them out...

... in progress...

...just imagine fresh new grass on the right side (after we buy it, and learn how to re-sod a yard, perhaps not in that order)...and mulchified yard on the left from our previous post...

better right?!

  1. pretty! The yard is looking great. I wish I had half of your energy. Good thing you are doing this before the baby, once the baby comes, projects get pushed aside for pampers and playdates. ;)
