Construction Zone

So we really made a mess this weekend. We managed to move our fence up and chop the yard in half so Thad could have free reign with the track hoe. We tore out a bunch of tree stumps, old wood retaining wall sections, footings, and random stuff. And I really do mean we because while Thad was on the big toy I was the one throwing all the junk into the trailer and truck. Long long day. Here are some pictures of the damage.
This first one is the view from the patio to the temporary fence and the section we left open to go through all day. And the second is through the gap, and yes, That is Andi sitting on Thads lap. She sat there most of the morning and thought it was the greatest ride ever.


























A close up of Andi and Thad on the Tractor, and our massive pile of dirt. Or at least half of it because I couldn't get the whole width in the shot.

























Right about now is when I just have to keep telling myself that in the end it will all be worth it!

Oh wow! That is a huge job! I know it must seem overwhelming but it will be worth it, like you said. I will enjoy seeing the progress made.

I've decided that you two aren't afraid of tackling anything! I guess it all started in Provo with your house there:) It will look great, when you are done!
Love, momb

Wow, you guys have been hard at work!! Looks like Andi loves the tractor. Or maybe she just loves being with her daddy. That is such a cute pic.

Looks like you guys have been extremely busy. But I'm sure it'll be well worth it when it's over...

I hear ya sister! I know the feeling, I feel like I see the light at the end of the tunnel , and then something goes wrong, and well, you know the drill. But keep up the good work and the positive attitude. It definitely is worth it in the end.
