Because I have so much free time...

Since I am always sitting around my house with nothing to do... I have started my 2009 annual home project. It seems that I take on some massive endeavor in my house each year. I decided to create a photo documentary of this year's project - "THE YARDS". Below are the "before" pictures of the area currently being worked on (note the large nasty hedge) :

The next two pictures show what the area looked like after day 1 (Hedge kaput! Yeah!):

My kids are lovin' this year's project...tractors and mud, WAHOO! Demolition is fun!

Day2: The ground has been leveled out to get ready for the retaining wall that will be built. All of what was the side yard is now in my driveway!

Today will be day 3. Can't wait to see the additional progress when I get home. I'll post more before and after shots as the contractors work their way around my house. :)
