The Yards, continued...

So, today will be Day 9 of my new project. Not a whole lot has been done since my last post as we had to wait for dig alert to come and flag where the electrical, cable and gas lines are before we could continue. Below are the pictures from the end of Day 8. All of the concrete from the side yard has been broken out and now sits in the driveway with the dirt heap from last week. They have also finished digging the trench for the retaining wall footing. It's moving in little steps, but as long as we continue to have progress, I'm pretty happy! The contractor assures me that the dirt heap will be gone today. I'm glad, cause the neighbors have been showing signs of both interest and annoyance at it's presence. The dirt heap is so big, that several neighbors have asked us if we are putting in a pool. Hmmmm...it wasn't part of the original plan, but...nah. Maybe next year. :)
More updates to come.
