More Home Improvement: Bike Park
I love living with Sean. No sooner does he come home than he starts a new project. I love helping with this kind of thing, but I often don’t know enough to do it myself. Having Sean around is awesome.
Our friends whose house we moved into so long ago left us a cool driveway covering, which we took with us to these new houses and have been using as a parking lot for the bikes. The problem: when it rained (which is about 6 months out of the year) the bike park got muddy, bikes would fall over, people got dirty.
Sean and I have talked about paving it for a long time. Now Sean’s doing it. He and his house spent the last few days digging up the bad dirt underneath the canopy. Yesterday we got a delivery of sand and bricks, and this morning our family spent a little time spreading the sand around.
Later today, Sean’s going to pour concrete for the poles and maybe start grading the sand. After that, we’ll put the bricks in and have a nice place for our bikes (both motor and otherwise).
Until then, Matt has been putting the bricks to good use.
Looks like you got yourself some work there. What about building an outdoor gym :-)

Remember your blog about being 15-years old and your comment about not listening? I could never get you guys to work with me to learn and now you love it. Ah, the joys of being a parent. But so glad to see you have a heart for these kinds of things too. Maybe at 15 you didn’t care to learn but son, it’s in your genes ;-)
That looks like fun!… I need to go ask my father if I can go pave our driveway…
That’s our Sean. Way to go Sean, you just keep them all constructively busy.
We love you all. Sean’s grandma
