Our weekend project...

When we first moved here, there was a garage in our back yard, (approximately 19feet by 23 feet) but it was not safe and the roof was sagging a bit, so the church had a "work day" on a sunday afternoon and tore it down. We've really enjoyed being able to see the woods behind where it used to stand. It had a dirt floor, but cement wall foundations were left behind. Scott and my brother Craig worked on sledge hammering out 2 sides of the cement wall foundations last summer or the summer before and we "hid" the other 2 walls with some stones. The area has been dirt, uneven and weedy in some spots. We also keep finding pieces of glass and odds and ends that surface through the dirt. Since it's not too safe for Taden now that he is quite mobile, and b/c it has been an eye sore, we decided to cover the area in topsoil and plant grass seed over it. We had 6 yards of topsoil delivered on thursday afternoon and have been working on it over the weekend. Taden has QUITE enjoyed himself and has been a big "help" stomping down the dirt and using his own toy shovel, not to mention getting QUITE dirty :) I'm going to take more pics of the project and will post later.
