This is Scott giving Alan driving lessons. There in the garden on the side of the house here.
Alan's all ready to rock and roll.
First he pulled up these nasty boards left over from the nasty dog run that held 8 dogs.
As soon as Scott left Alan found the ONLY mud pit in the entire yard and proceeded to get himself stuck for 2 hours. It took the winch on the Jeep, a snatch block and our very helpful neighbor to get him out. There was absolutely no hardpack under the 10,000 pound dozer. This picture doesn't do it justice he had the dozer sunk more than halfway under. This picture was after he got out and the hole filled up.
Me in the Jeep working the winch. These are seriously my favorite pair of shoes. I Lurve them!
Here's a before picture.
Hard at work knocking down the weeds and leveling the yard.
Love the boots! Confession: I've been daydreaming about your yard and what fun it would be to plant things in it. I'm such a dork, I know... Can't wait to see how it turns out.
ReplyDeleteHi there. You have no idea who I am, but there is a connection! First off, I'm friends with Tony and Laci Warmoth. They just moved into my ward. But, I knew them way before that. I knew them when we were teenagers. Second, I grew up in the house that is now yours! I've looked back through your blog and had so much fun seeing what you've done with the house! Sure, we had oak cabinets, lots of wallpaper trim, and a black toilet in the master...but 20 years ago when the house was built, that was dang cool!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I love seeing your vision and how you've made the house yours. I was so sad to hear the owners between my family and yours junked the place. :( I'm so glad a cute family has moved in and is making the house a family home!
