The Journey of the Yard


Some of you may remember this photo (above) from last year. It's the Before photo.
We are slowly working on our yard. It will be a long journey that's for sure. I'll be posting new photos as we do more work.

Here is the After.
So far we hauled in 8 truck loads of dirt. We're trying to make the front yard flat with a retaining wall along the front edge.




In the back yard the builders of the home left a huge pile of construction garbage in our back yard. Yuck huh? I wouldn't be surprised if there were snakes back there.
(above) They are removing the pile
(below) The pile has been removed. Yea!




And cute Ethan playing with his mini skid steer. The boys loved watching all the dump trucks come to our house.

Yard: To be Continued...

Ah yes, the journey of the yard. Not so fun. It's nice when it's done, but it's not my thing. Good luck and let us know if you need any help.

Exciting for you guys! And spring is the perfect time to do it. We need to get together sometime, it's been too long.
