The Yard Begins!!! Finally!

 So, we've been dealing with a weed garden for a little more than a year now...

...it's not been pleasant...

...so I'm showing some before and during pictures so you can enjoy the change like we are...

from various angles of the house...

not pretty

very dusty and dirty

our neighbors just got their yard in...so now it is our turn...

The first step was to clean it up


...it cleans up nice

we bought an additional strip of land from our neighbors that has this fence on it

this is Brady's blessed sandbox...see last year's blog on this project...fun and rewarding

...but now Brady thinks he is getting a new huge sandbox, we're trying to help him understand that this is where the firepit is going to go

They dropped off some rocks to do the rock walls needed, sounded like thunder when they hit the ground...

Brady is still in denial about his sandbox, so he's just playing in the dirt inside his box...

They completed a couple of the rock walls, one on the corner...

...and one in the front...it has a nice curve to it that is hard to see from this angle.

On Monday they will do another rock wall that continues from the line of the middle wall and wraps around to the back...

They will also build the rock wall and stairs into the fire pit...and start the sprinklers, then top soil and grating will be done, a few bushes and trees in the front will be done, a gas line will be run to the fire pit and it will be built, then curbing and finally...grass! 

Bryson and Brady are excited and have enjoyed playing in the machinery too! More to come next week! They expect to be ready for us to lay the sod next Saturday!
