As you can see from the pictures there was a lot of shingle to spread around. Fortunately the kids were off school that day so everyone was handed a rake or shovel and all five of us pitched in. We dumped piles of the shingle in strategic places around the driveway and all placed ourselves in circle like positions to move inwards and meet in the middle. At least that was the plan....Turned out it was a bit like icing a cake, you always end up with more on one side than the other, so you have to keep going over and over to get it level. This was especially noticeable on the twins sides as they were young and not as strong as us, and believe me, it takes some heaving.it was worth the effort though, even if the kids did give up half way through, but I was secretly hoping the weeds wouldn't grow through it...Time would tell. It was July by then and incredibly hot, how glad were we that, after all that effort, we had a nice cool pool to jump into..........Had to make the most of it before the first customers arrived!!
