Dirt moving

Our next project that we tackled was moving 12 cubic yards of top soil from one side of the house to the other. We took about 5 days to move it with our little wheelbarrow. Gino did most of the moving and I tried to help when I wasn’t keeping Isabel entertained.

Some of the top soil we had moved over before Gino had started the paver pathway however that had gotten very compacted from the truck with the many loads of gravel/sand and paver’s. Nevertheless, we broke it up and moved the soil over by the pathway and then began moving the remainder of the top soil from the other side of the house.

Clearing more of the larger rocks before bringing in loads of the top soil.

Taking those larger rock loads over to the empty lots.

Our little helper.

This is where the top soil was located on the other side of the house.

All the top soil is moved! Hurray!
The morning these photos were taken, we had a summer thunderstorm (hence the small lake of water) with thunder and lightning during the night. Which was very cool because we don’t get lightning all that much.
By the way, the tarp is covering leftover sand from the paver pathway project; which Gino will use to complete the pathway around the house to the patio.

Now it’s time for the fence…
