A Big Project.....

They took a really ugly hill with lots of stumps.....


the geo cell
 Used lots of muscle and sweat....friends, scouts, moms and dads....helped get rid of the stumps, weeds and ugly vines.....

The goal was to smooth the surface, cover it with fabric and then put this geo cell ground cover down......that was the plan.....

It would take team work, communication skills and pure grit....we only had a pdf file to go by and happened to see one on our travels.....but boy scouts and nuns have many things in common and one is...we can do it.....and we are in the process of doing it......
They covered the entire hill with fabric before the geo cell could be put down....


Today we finally started to put stone in the cells...it was a tedious process and will take the next several day to complete....especially since Mother Nature rained on our part of the country....

When it is finished....I will post pictures of the before and after as well as tell you about our scouts and friends....in the mean time..if you want to know what I did this weekend...well... I got by with a little help from my friends......

Way to go guys...you too Mary....it is looking great!!!
