Construction Day 1

Yes, this is our backyard.  The lovely grass is completely gone. It took them less than an hour to rip everything out.  We are ripping it up and putting in a drainage system and then all new landscaping.  It is actually pretty exciting.

This picture is horrible, but see the tractor in the far right corner.  That was the hugest machine I've ever seen in my life. When I saw it scraping up the grass. I seriously got a little worried.  A few inches to far and they could have demolished my whole house with that tractor.    

  

Here's the first of the drainage system.  Let's pray it works.  Our basement has flooded each winter and spring since we've lived here. 

Now this nice weather needs to hold out for us to finish this project!  Stay tuned...
