Pop came with his skid loader and we moved the two rubbermaid sheds. We also are taking out part of the circle driveway, so he used the stone from that to make a base for the sheds. So much nicer! And he ripped out some tree roots here and there as well as help me rework the backyard a little. I sprayed alot of the woods in the back yard to help push it back and make the yard a little bigger. We will put the new playset back there when the time comes.
We had to dig the driveway out to 12-15 inches deep, so we were looking for places to put the extra stone. So the part of the driveway we are keeping has a nice new layer of stone. We also have a couple piles around the yard. :) Over all things turned out pretty well. We will be getting some dirt to fill in the driveway tomorrow. We had a lot of rain after we dug it out, so it was full of water until we pumped it out (thanks to all the clay in the soil). The boys have had fun digging in the rocks with their CAT tractors though. :)
We had a dead tree dropped this week. Andy didnt' want to risk it falling and hitting the house, so we had someone else to the job. They also chipped out some of the roots that were too big for the skid loader. The back yard is getting closer and closer to being ready to plant grass!
