Plans for building a manual sod cutter11/28/2022 The first action item in laying a gravel patio and building a fire pit is to clear the area where the patio will go by removing sod. I’m DIYing every bit of this that I can and will be sharing the step-by-step over the next couple of weeks! We truly can’t wait for this fire pit area – especially our three teenagers! The patio will go right at the bottom of our deck stairs, extending out into the yard, and we envision many fun times with friends and family in this spot. When we moved here six years ago our entire backyard was completely wooded all the way up to the house, and we’ve worked endlessly to take down trees, remove stumps, have loam brought in to regrade the land, and then grow grass….and now I am ruthlessly ripping some of it out to make room for a patio. Remember that little bitty DIY I talked about in May, installing a gravel patio and building a natural stone fire pit? Well we had a few timeline setbacks, but we’re finally off and running!!! We also got my mom’s house on the market finally, and within 24 hours she had 12 showings and FIVE offers! It’s shaping up to be a pretty good year! I turned 45 last Wednesday and since then I have learned three DIY skills – how to attach a tow hitch to my car, how to tow a trailer and how to use a sod cutting machine.
