Backyard Update

Michael was so busy this summer working at this normal Monday - Friday job and then working on the weekends for his own business...he didn't have a lot of time to spend on the backyard. With that said last week we (more like I) decided that it would be good to get some work done since it wasn't raining.
Since the last time I've posted Michael fixed the bend in the wall (pain in the butt), put another row of blocks on and move fill dirt up next to the wall.

Here's the back side....nice and straight!

Our piles of rocks and dirt are slowly dwindling.


Michael moved wheelbarrow full after wheelbarrow full of dirt during this work session.


Good helper!



I wanna be just like Daddy, but this shovel is HEAVY!!!


All that work to fill one corner of the yard with dirt! Exhausting! We severely under estimated how much dirt we would need for the yard so we will have to order some more. I'm thinking at least 20 yards. We started with only 5! We are hoping since the driver was able to come down the easement last time he might be able to angle a little and dump the dirt in the yard instead of on the pavement. Either way when we get the dirt we are definitely going to rent a bobcat to make the whole project much quicker and easier. Right now Michael is just putting some fill dirt in so he can get the next row of the wall up. We are thinking we will just need one more row of the blocks and then a row of capstones to finish it off. Work work work!
