The area from my driveway to the house is a muddy mess. It is a grassy area but the wet weather has turned it into a mud pit. I would like to try and put down some stepping stones but am afraid that they will just sink. Any ideas?

You could lay a little pinestraw down first.. to soak it up...
Or go to walmart buy a bag of seed to plant grass... find something that will grow fast.. then put down stepping stones.

I just found a site with thousands of downloadable woodworking plans, it s really great. You can check it out here ( woodworkingplans.kyma.info ) Here is an honest review : If you want to start a woodworking project, you need all the necessary information, including schematics, blueprints, materials lists, dimensions etc. That is where TedsWoodworking comes in. The plans are clearly drawn and there're step-by-step explainations of how the plan should be done and put together. There are several other sites whose collection of plans have the dimensions totally wrong without any indication of parts lists, material lists or the tools needed. If you're one of those people who have bought plans like this in the past, TedsWoodworking will change your perception. In Ted's Woodworking you will get everything you need: Diagrams which are detailed with a full set of dimensions, step-by-step instructions how to start your project and the necessary materials for that particular project. All the woodworking tools you will need: If you are a beginner or have done some woodworking you will find these plans easy-to-follow as the instructions are very clearly written. The woodworking plans are straightforward so they are not complicated at all. Even if you are a total newcomer to woodworking you will simply be able to master all the techniques that are needed and the woodworking skills very quickly by following the concise and clear instructions. Another thing which is so great about these woodworking plans is that there have been some videos included and there are some to guide you in how to build benches home furniture dog houses bird feeders sheds and much much more. There is also a lifetime member acess included in the package and you get these extras for no cost to you as they are free with no additional charges at all! This alone is worth the entire price for TedsWoodworking. Ted Mcgrath is a very dedicated and experienced woodworker who knows what he is talking about when it comes to woodworking and DIY projects s he has been a woodworker for many many years. There is only one drawback that we could find and that being with 16,000 woodworking plans you are bound to get some which look a little disorganized but that is understandable as it is very difficult to place all these plans into their proper categories. Secondly, it might take you a little longer to do the downloads on because of the size of them. But the members area include an option to upgrade to the DVD so you can save time on downloading. I've been a carpenter for almost 36 years, and I haven't found anything like this for less than 10's of thousands of dollars.Here's the bottom line: If you are planning to start on your woodworking project, this isn't something you SHOULD use, it's something that you would be insane not to. Check the site: ( woodworkingplans.kyma.info )

Dump a bunch of pea gravel and rocks in the area and keep filling until the gravel and pea stone don't sink any further. Then on top of that add any mulch you have around--shredded leaves, sticks from trees, etc. When that is done, you can put decorative wood chips on top. In my muddy area, I ordered a load of mulch and had it dumped. We raked it out and then put wood chips on top. I wanted to put in plants so I skipped the gravel and pea stone part. If the wood chips sink in, get a load of mulch and dump in on top of the first layer of wood chips and redo the surace with more wood chips. Eventually this will build up the area with organic material and you will not have a wet spot.

Along with stone, mud and animal parts, wood was one of the first materials worked by early humans. Microwear analysis of the Mousterian stone tools used by the Neanderthals show that many were used to work wood. The development of civilization was closely tied to the development of increasingly greater degrees of skill in working these materials.

Why not just buy the 99 cent stepping stones, line them up staggering in a walking pattern and cover the rest of the area with wood chips.
