  • Lots of Activity in the Back Yard

    EarthMovers

    This picket fence is Alice's fence, and three houses away you can see the earth movers out behind my fence. You may have recalled that I had a huge pile of dirt out behind my house and I had been waiting until the fence got built to have them rearrange that dirt so that it makes the slope down to the gulley not so steep.

    Here's what that pile of dirt looked like before the fence went up.  It's between 2 feet and 3 feet high the entire 65 feet across the back of my lot and I have been most anxious to have it flattened out.

    I hired this father and son team to do the job. They had done some of the original grading of my land and they also did the grading for the house that's going up just next door to my place, but for this job I had to wait for them to be on this side of town again and TODAY WAS THE DAY.

    I had them make the first 4 feet level and then gradually slope to the gulley.  This is going to be so much nicer for me when I'm working in the small 2 foot wide flower beds I plan all along the back of my fence.   It means a lot more work getting those beds ready, but it will sure be worth it when it's done.

  • I should have known that you would be out there with your camera when I snapped the one shot from my back gate. They did a dandy job on the dirt work. :love:

  • I still think that once you get all this done you need to come help me out.

  • Ditto what  I commented to Alice/:love::love:Mom

  • I didn't realize you were building that close to Alice.
