The pups were born on October 28, so they aren't four months old yet. We're working on basic manners, like sit, stay, OK, and "manners." Manners is the one I'm really trying to drive home. Manners is essentially "May I have your attention, please." In other words, please stop what you're doing and focus on me. That's a tough one, but a necessary one when relatives or guests come over and the dogs try to jump on them.
Is it lean-to, lean-to, or leanto? Either way, the concrete washout is finally drying. I did a rough compact job to make the space smooth-ish. I can't complete this space until I'm ready to work on the adjacent area to the side and back of the shop. Stable, rough work is all I'm trying to achieve right now.

that was really close you you knew it
wasn't the correct word but he I think
as he jumped you jumped
this is not done it's wavy it's dippy
it's not flat but it's smooth and it's
packed down hard and this will work
until uh the weather really
cooperates and I can get all of this
done I want to do this probably the same
time that I back fill around the
perimeter over here I've got to bring
back bring in some more sand on this
side this whole side over here we've yet
to clean up you have to do anything with
so we've got to build up about 5 in or
so this whole length and then taper it
off this way when I do
that I want to do this as well I want to
extend off here we go extend off over
here another four or 5 ft and then start
the slope this way so sand for sure over
there cuz it's cheap and that's what I
want around the foundation uh doesn't
expand and contract with moisture
changes is this is okay to be clay but
well the majority of our soil over here
is Clay so I can push all this once it
starts drying out over to here build
this up a little bit and we're kind of
toying around with the idea of making
some type of like almost like a ditch
Pond right a deeper than normal kind of
a pond that will hold water cuz the
water table's real low here at least in
the rainy season anyway put a bridge
over it in between you know the walking
from the shop over this little bridge
and water through the garden into the
house that sounds like a lot of fun uh
big picture longterm lots to do
