Finally, something to report!

So, we were having a friend come over today so we could work on getting some of the gravel into the ditch of doom outside. While we were waiting, we were doing some straightening out around the house and heard some machinery outside. The guys across the street had a friend over with a backhoe pulling up trees and such in their yard. So Mike went over and asked how much would it be for him to put in the gravel and put all the dirt back ... $100...SOLD! We now no longer have a ditch. We have temporarily put up the fence and will have to fix it before we can let the dogs back out there, but OMG I'm ecstatic! Just a few quick repairs and no more walking the dogs!

Now we just need to level and tamp it, clean up the leaves in the yard and spread a metric fuck-ton of clover to get the mud situation under control. Plus, we have a metric ton of gravel left over which will definitely help get this yard under control. This was unexpected but much much appreciated. I'm so glad that's off our plates. We can start concentrating on other things very very soon. I'm glad the weather is breaking... More work here we come!!!!!!!!
