Potential found

Even though the well and septic discoveries will set us back a bit, we still accomplished a lot this weekend. We had the pea gravel delivered for Lexi's playset and we rented a tractor to move the pea gravel and level the yard.
Allen had to take down most of the wire fencing around the yard so we could get in with the tractor. Then, he brought over the pea gravel. We still had to do lots of shoveling and raking to get it done, but having the bucket sure shaved off a lot of time shlepping with a wheelbarrow.
He then worked the backyard a bit with the tractor and box blade. Since I have some experience with running a tractor, I could help with this job. I finished the yard and did the arena. The place looks so much better. We are pleased with the progress, but really look forward to having the next two weeks off from yard work.

Allen took a short panoramic video of the yard. We can finally see the potential!

I am glad you have gotten so much done but I hope you're remembering to take it easy! It looks so much different than it did a few months ago, you should be very proud of yourselves!
