Suck-sess

We did it! Or should I say, Allen did it. He tinkered with the pump we were given to get it working and it actually pumped the septic tank out. Using a jack hammer and sledge, he knocked in the lid and the sides about 18 inches down. There was wire mesh running throughout the concrete so it was really slow and hard work. We're using the extra dirt in the yard and some of the crappy cement work that we've broken out to fill it all in. Next week, we'll have a big tractor again to level and grade the yard. Rather than fight the mesh and push it all in by hand, Allen's going to wrap up next weekend. Thankfully, this step in our efforts to put in lawn was fairly uneventful and a huge success. Yeah!!

Ewww!

Lexi would cover her "ears" and say "LOUD!" when Allen used the jackhammer.
She's taken to laying in the dirt lately. She tells us that she's going to lay down and then pops up and says, "I wak'd up!"
