What a Mess

Josh is making progress on the beds. Here's a before picture. He's pushing the sodcutter. See Josh's blog for a thorough description of his day on Tuesday. Here is what things looked like this morning. Right now Josh is leveling this side of the house to hopefully help the drainage "issue." This little lake was after 2 days of heavy rain.
And the right side of the house. This morning Josh took out the rest of the grass next to the house and also the shrubs, which we will be replacing.
Kellen "helped" for about 2 minutes.


On another note: We love Freecycle! People came and took away all the sod that came from our yard, and there was a LOT.

love that picture of your little helper!
Yard work is always such a mess, but usually well worth it when you have the finished product!

You're right, owning a house looks like a lot of trouble. I guess I have to weigh all that hard work with being able to fix things like a lock on a window...for the past year and a half, our window has been "locked" by a putter wedged into it. The beds are already looking good and I can't wait to see the finished product!

Chad and I just got on a ladder and cleaned out the gutters at the house we're sitting in. It's not sod cutting, but it's a start, right?
