We are removing a pond from our backyard and today was a very big day. We had a load of dirt (6 yards, whatever that means) delivered on Thursday.
Then today we wheelbarrowed it all from the front yard into the pond to fill it in. It took us 52 (approx) loads to get it all in. We also had to break down a mound of dirt on one end that housed the waterfall and whole pump set. We also had to remove the black liner with a box cutter. I became very handy with a wheelbarrow, rake, shovel and my favorite...the pick axe.
We got that phase done in 3 hours. Shew. Then broke for lunch at Snuffers and came back to do some more leveling and I wanted to plant some rose bushes in memory of my mother. She passed away 19 years ago, yesterday.
