Cinder Blocks

We were able to find a man in the Denver Metro area who was selling cinder blocks. Many, MANY, MANY trips later we were able to get 1000 cinder blocks for creating raised beds. The first attempt had three church members (Andrew, Alechia, & Eric) meeting a man with a moving truck. This first trip was very successful in getting 500 of the cinder blocks! It took a few more days and many trucks driving to & from the lot to get the remaining 500 blocks. Helpers included: Mike, Maureen, Dominic, Lyle, Rachel, Eileen, Eric, & Alechia (as I said, I am going back & trying to recall all these steps, so I greatly apologize if I have forgot someone!) I wish that I had pictures of the first few trips, but wasn't that on-top of the picture taking part of the project yet! Thanks to Jeff for lending us the trailer, it was a huge help! Here are a few from the last trip...
