The work begins!

So we've torn apart our back yard and have been working like dogs to get it all done quickly. The word quickly, however, doesn't exsit when it is 32 degrees outside. We started on Saturday morning by renting a sod cutter to obviously cut the old sod. Then we spent THE REST OF THE DAY rolling it and moving it into a gigantic pile.
The backyard from the deck.

The backyard looking at the deck.

The side of the house.

The same side, just from the other end.


What a lot of work, but it will be worth it.

The next day we had the missionaries come and help us move all the dirt. They offered their help, and who am I to say no?





This is the front year that we ripped up too.
Do you know how heavy a roll of sod is???
This is actually one of the missionaries under my deck shovelling dirt towards the house.
Ahhh, bare ground! We had to move a bunch of dirt to level the ground out. Will keep posting new photos as the rest of the project comes together!
