Do your pets help out on your projects?  ***Step 1: Roll in the dirt bowl in the backyard every single day to ensure Mommy and Daddy understand that fixing up the yard should move up on the priority to-do list.   Step 2: Supervise the placement of each paver to make sure you approve the location and spacing.
