Backfilling

This post will probably lack much excitement as they are mostly photos of pushing mud around but...I am documenting the build so here it is!

Basically we have to backfill before we can plant the much wanted grass. The backfilling evens out the yard and typically puts the nice soil on top. Typically the dirt from the basement dig is used for the backfill. Unfortunately for us...we do not have any good soil--we have clay-like soil.
So we will most likely have to bring some in, or bring in fertilizer to create soil. PEEEYOOO.

Our friend Matt helped us with the backfilling. He works for food and beer. We like that.

 Scout helped too. He also works for food.

Although, Scout is mostly playing in the mud here and not working...

 And here I just told Scout it was bathtime...

 Considering another run through the creek...

The boys worked very hard and finally enjoyed a few brews afterwards on the deck. Thanks for your help Matt!


Also, we are getting our pillars installed this week finally..woohoo! The house will look less redneck.
