One thing I've realized over the last few weeks, with this work and the work my brother is doing, that home improvement projects I do aren't the only ones that spawn other work. I think it may be that almost ALL of them do! That's been a good thing for me to realize. These follow-on projects aren't due to my incompetence as a home improver, but they are actually quite typical for any home projects.
Anyway ... on with the pics. Before ....
And, ta-da, AFTER!
After the leaves and needles are done falling and then are all cleaned up, we'll put some mulch around the perimeter of the wall to cover the raw earth. (Yet another project spawned by this one. :-) )

Your sidewalk looks wonderful! Does your brother travel? He does great work.
Hi Cranky,
The path looks wonderful.
What about some raised flower beds too?
Have a good start to the week.
Love,
Herrad
Nice! (L whistles in admiration)
Congratulations on the completion of the walk. Looks great! May your projects get smaller as they cascade.
Your project turned out great! And, as you say, you can always come up with something else to do. Just in case you thought you'd ever be "done." :)
Upstater - the walk was done by a mason who, I agree, does great work. I see in my write-up it does sound like my brother did the work. I have him doing tons of other projects!
Herrad - thanks! Flower beds would improve the look. I'm considering something like that around the front of the house to replace the yews my brother cut down.
L - thanks! We love it too.
Steve - definitely hoping they get smaller, too.
Zoom - I'd say the realization that's dawned on me is home maintenance never ends. How did I go 20 years as a homeowner and never come to grips with this before?
