Saturday we moved dirt and cleaned up around the new house. There was still a little patch of ridge that needed to be cut down. Not sure why we didn't do it in the beginning, I guess dad was trying to save the big tree on top of it. The drive way will go straight up and to Kev's shop instead of curving around. It will give us more room. Anyways... His dad volunteered to move the dirt if we rented the back hoe.
I don't have a before picture, but here is the after. Basically before it was almost impossible to walk on this side of the house. Now we can, except at the very front. We still have lots of dirt to add there.
While Kev's dad did that, Kev and I cleaned up and stacked firewood.
This is the organized wood pile. Before it was a mound of trash and scrap wood. I sorted through and burned the trash and unusable wood and organized the good pieces. You never know when you might need a small board. I know they still have to build the form for the back porch and driveway and all the house form boards were in there.
We also stacked wood. My hamstrings hurt for two days! We did the front stack, the back one has been done for a few months. We still have enough wood piled up for another stack. Plus several more trees that need to come down. We are not in need of firewood!
The very dead poison ivy and brush! I even killed a tree. Oops!
