And Cue the Yard!

We have finally begun the process of putting our yard in! We rented a trencher from Home Depot for a few hours so that we can put in our new sprinkler system. While Lane worked the trencher, his dad and I dug up weeds, cleaned up the dirt a little (oxymoron) and sprayed weed killer all over. We removed tennis balls, pool parts, plastic, cans, bottles, tools, dog toys, rocks, weeds, and diapers. About 5 hours later this is what we got it to look like. You may just see dirt, but we see the outline of our yard and where cement will be, and an organized mess instead! Hopefully by next weekend we will be able to get sprinklers in so we can hydro-seed.

We will also by pouring concrete. The irrigation system is in that back corner (above) so we will pour some slab there for a shed and box. To the left will be more concrete for our patio area and garden boxes. In the picture below, that area is on the top left.

Here's Lane working the trencher.

Here's the side of our front yard.
