A Front Yard, Yeah!!!!

Yeah!! We have a front yard! Today I went with Trevon to his class field trip (pictures of that to come). When I got back this is what I saw. I cannot believe how fast they put the front yard in. It was the builder's responsibility to put in the front yard. They did the rock wall on Monday, which only took them about three hours. And then today they finished up. I am really happy with the outcome. There is not much grass, but what a difference a little green makes. And there isn't a lot to mow!



Now we just have to focus on the back yard. We had it trenched last week and the goal was to put in the sprinkler system on Saturday, but the wind was REALLY, REALLY bad. Brian tried to do a little bit, but the dirt swirling in the air from the wind would get on the pipe glue and in Brian's eyes. He did manage to get two lines glued despite the horrible wind. He is going to finish up this evening and cover up at least the back trench because we have topsoil being delivered tomorrow.We had to have the soil delivered and dumped before the fence guys come to install the posts either Friday or Monday. Then after the posts are set we are going to have the curbing put in the back for a few flower beds. After the curbing is done we will be all set to lay sod before the fence guys come back to finish the rest of the fence. The plan is to have the ENTIRE yard done in three weeks from now. I can't wait!! We will for sure have a BBQ this summer so you all can come and see.

I can't believe how fast you two have done all that. We are just barely getting a fence set up and only on one side of the yard. You guys are super quick. Looks good!!!
