Progress continues...

After last weekends tilling, we needed to get out the roots and clumps from the yard. So we raked and shoveled until it was finally all gone!
Tyler digging us a ramp for the wheel barrows.

Cody was a big helpers this weekend as well.

Ty going up the ramp to dump a load.

After this we spent some times down on hand and knees cutting the roots out. It was Sooo much fun!
Next we needed to put down fertilizers, good top soil and mix it all in.
Grandpa showing Cody how to use the tiller.

After that, we used a big landscapers rake to smooth it all back down and level it out.


Next up is to take a big barrel roller, smooth it out and find our high/low points.
New sprinkler heads after that.
Sod going in possibly Thur/Fri or Sun. YAY!

Is something missing?
A friend said she would take the rose bushes if we didn't want them, so instead of fighting around them as we were working, she came over and the guys helped her take them. So nice and clean! We will take the extra rock we have and fill in this box, then we are planning to get some planters and plant some flowering bushes.

Let's hope I can move in the morning!
