More backyard

Three days of hard work sure paid off.
John had Friday off so he hauled the rest of the cement off, figured out our sprinkling system so we could add to it and changed out some sprinkler heads.

Saturday we borrowed my parents tiller and used it on the side of our driveway. We only have a one car driveway but enough room to make it a two car. The dirt was about 6 inches taller than the driveway so we tilled it up and used that dirt to level out where the cement was. My dad came over to help us dig and once we leveled out what was needed he helped us lay out pavers for our raised garden bed.

Sunday John and I dug and dug and dug some more. We finished the garden sprinklers then filled the raised beds that my dad worked on with the "driveway" dirt. We then finished laying out the rest of the pavers we had (we probably need 90 more pavers since all we had money for was the 75 we laid).

It was a long three days, but no hiccups!! We got a lot done and we feel good about it.

 

Kind of hard to see since the pavers blend into the cinder block wall but that's what 75 pavers look like laid three tall.  

Our two new trees with one more getting planted in the fall. Crappy picture, but truthfully I'm too tired to care. The flags mark where all the sprinkler heads are.

Doesn't look like we did that much but it sure feels like it. Even with two visiting dogs under toe!
