~Yardwork~

Well we aren't done by any means but I decided to post some of the pictures and progress we are making. Right now we are digging and putting in sprinklers and then we will be putting in grass. So far we have removed fences, removed bushes, had trees removed, dug out and put cement pipes in the canal, brought in a ton of dirt to fill in the new garden area over the canal, dug up and tilled the backyard, racked out the ground to level it, had curbing put in, built a retaining wall, back filled the dirt to be level! It has been a TON of work but it will be nice to have a yard for Kimberly to play in. Jeremy has done most of the work and I am so proud of the job he has done. We have also had help from Patti, Trip, Jared, and of course Kimberly and Rover!!! I will have to put some pictures up next summer of the yard with grass and plants. But until then here is our progress!

Holy shit, I can't believe how much work has been put into that back yard! Jer is such a hard worker, and I am proud to see how good it looks so far. Won't it be nice to have a garden and fresh veggies? I can't wait to come out and see it in person, and that little pooper too.
