I made my flower bed, I’ll lie in it.
I’ve had some free time to rest lately and naturally decided to ruin it by attempting a DIY project. I wasn’t too ambitious. In fact, I chose a particularly simple task. Trivial, really. I was going to build a flower bed.
My first task was to dig out a whole bunch of the ground. Absurd, I know, since the ground is the exact place where I planned to grow my plants in the first place, but you know how picky these green thumbs can get about dirt. This required a quick trip to the hardware store to pick up a shovel and remark how odd it was that I didn’t already own a shovel.
From here, I was into the fun part – actually assembling the flower bed. What a simple task. All it required was a quick trip to the recycled brick centre, loading up all the bricks, unloading them, going back to the hardware store, getting the concrete and all the accoutrement required for laying bricks , and getting started.From there, I simply realised that I had the wrong concrete, that it wasn’t level anyway, and that the rain was coming in.
