1. Our dog ran around the yard after all the snow melted and especially liked one corner which meant that there was no grass and she brought the mud inside
2. I saw this pin
It looked super easy and I thought I could definitely do that.
But as I started planning it I immediately faced a couple problems. First of all, I couldn't do it directly in the corner because the dog runs around there and the only thing that could keep her out would be a 2 meter fence. Yep, not happening. So I thought I could make these tiles in the other section of our garden where the dog can't go and bring them back when they're ready.
When I started making them I ran into another problem - where the hell do I get these beautiful pebbles?? I was not going to buy them so I just used little stones that I had and tried my best. Picking out suitable pebbles turned out the hardest task while doing it all...
So I made this weird frame with a box and a brick (to make it square) and covered it with a plastic sheet.
I only had two of theses frames which meant I could only make two concrete tiles at a time. And they dried for 3 days. So it meant I spent my whole summer (okay that's not true, I did some other stuff in between) making these damn stone-tiles!!
But a couple days into fall I was luckily done.
Yeah, looks okay I guess... But you know what? I was SO disappointed when I finally laid them into place. I am a horrible planner and it turned out I only covered about one fifth of the area I wanted to cover!!
Yeah. Never doing that again.
