Wren’s Nest Conservation Project – New Brick Path and Secret Tunnel Part 2
Written on May 7, 2009 at 4:22 pm, by Lain
The new brick pathway at the Wren’s Nest is finished, complete with a secret tunnel to divert water from the house.
Remember what it looked like before? Not bad, huh.
Two gutters connect underground and divert water away from the house. By moving the water a few feet from the house we will preserve the structure much more effectively.
Behold — the tunnel’s inner-workings:
Our brick folks did a great job of matching the “new” brick to the old path. They used the brick that’d just been sitting in our yard like so many foundlings.
Here’s what the foundling brick looked like in its natural habitat.
Now you can’t even tell the difference in bricks between our other path and this newbie.
Good job, bricks. I can’t wait to walk all over you.

It’s true, I don’t know which part is old and which part is new in that bottom picture. Looks quite a bit better than before…
Much less sketchy and intimidating than before.
Part of me says, “Oh, Wow! That looks great!” The other part of me says, “That place looks far less creepy and intimidating, bummer.”
Yeah, it’ll be harder to convince kids there’s a troll living down there now.
