Extreme Makeover

Our backyard is undergoing an extreme makeover. I am posting some "before" pictures, so that in a few weeks, you can more appreciate the "after" pictures.

Last week was hot. Very, very hot. Over 100 degrees hot. Of course, that was the week we had to do our irrigation system. We all worked very hard moving dirt. Our friend KC masterminded the whole job and helped every day after work. We couldn't have done it without him. Our neighbor Frank was very generous with his time helping us, also. By Saturday at 3:00 in the afternoon, we had all the trenches filled back in and the whole thing raked and ready for hydroseed. It was kind of sad that you couldn't even tell we had done anything!

Mark and KC have a few more sprinkler heads to install tonight, and set the clock for all 18 zones. It's crazy. It's a lot of grass, but I can't wait for it. Our backyard has been a project in the works for 6 years, and it is so unbelievable to be finally at the end of the project.
