So our money here gets us a house with a "final grade yard" which means they scrape enough of the glacier mountain muck away from our house so water will drain away from our house.
Homeowners manual says you have a year to make it green, so we had 2 choices. First, wait till the spring when we could have it done professionally but scream at our children all fall, winter and spring to stay out of the muck and then be held captive all next summer by a young lawn that needs constant watering; or, suck it up, get some dirt, a bobcat, a ton of seed and do it ourselves.
Well, let me tell you...we worked our butts off!!! All the kids helped scrape big rocks out of the yard and even ran the bobcat...but we did it...and a couple hundred dollars to spare too! So you're seeing the "before" picture. Hopefully next week I can post a pic with a little light green peaking thru.

Dona, enjoyed all the pic's. Thank God a bobcat was available, that's a huge pile of dirt to move by hand. Looking forward to visiting with all. Get all of your "home work" done so we can go see the sights. Love Popa
