I decided to work on building a garden about two years ago. My husband is an Artist and he is very good at finding random items various places that he hopes will one day be of use. This is very fortunate for me.
Our neighborhood is a fairly new one. There were multiple homes being built at the same time as ours. To most people, this is a time of being annoyed at the fact that you have banging hammers all day and construction trash piled up everywhere. To my husband, this time was seen as a very big opportunity.
We were fortunate enough to have our new home being built right next the lot that held the Forman’s office (trailer) for the builder. My hubby being the friendly guy he is, struck up a conversation with the Foreman about all of the construction trash in the lot next to our home. Much to our surprise, it was destined for the landfill. So, my sweetie asks if we can pick through it and the guy said “sure, that is less we have to have hauled off.” That is all we had to hear!
We spent the next few months moving about 2000 bricks into the backyard. We were not sure at the time what we would do with them, but we thought we would find a use for them.
