    Default A Sweet Project - Building A Hedge Maze

    Hey guys, I just finished up a cool project at my uncles house. We built a hedge maze consisting of:
    1,200 arborvitaes
    84 cubic yards of sand ( 6 FULL dump truck loads)
    2, 12 hour days
    1 terrible sunburn

    We took this:



    and made this:



    Arborvitaes grow at a foot a year and they are spread at 12" per plant, so it will take a year or so to fill out.

    Dead tiring, but fun as hell.

    When two fit, it makes you think
    I got the cute one, my woman
    She says, "Lovin's all I bring"
    And it's her loving that's a wonderful thing.
    Lovin' yes we are, it's such a wonderful thing
    When two fit it makes you think
    See us both in the black
    She lays on me so relaxed.

    Roland would have understood.

    That'll be amazing when it grows in. How tall do they usually top out at?
    There's one hole in every revolution, large or small. And it's one word long.. people. No matter how big the idea they all stand under, people are small and weak and cheap and frightened. It's people that kill every revolution.
