Seriously, I've been walking around all day like an old person. Or should I say shuffling around?
A more detailed description of this project will go on the remodeling blog, but the short version: I unloaded a 1-ton pallet of stone Saturday, then, as if that wasn't enough for one day, I proceeded to move 3/4 of that ton, piece by piece, to lay out a nice pathway from the deck to the chicken run door, around the chicken run to the back door of the coop, and then around to the nesting box. And then I squatted down and started using a flat bar and a hand trowel to dig shallow recesses in the ground to sink the stones into. My hamstrings in particular are so sore and tight that walking is really miserable. My shoulders are also really bad, and my mid- and lower back, forearms, and the muscles in my hands are up there too.
And I've got a lot more stones to sink. I think I'd better do the rest in smaller increments.
