Excavating…Dirt removal

Way back in June Don Wayne excavated all around the “L” Shaped House as this adventure began (see it here). The holes he dug created a really big dirt pile out front and a smaller one beyond the garage. We decided to hang on to the dirt until the landscaping was close to being complete. That day finally arrived as Don returned this morning to take the excess dirt away. The first photo shows a brand new view of the “L” Shaped House without our old friend the dirt pile out front.

The video shows Don in the excavator filling one of the two dump trucks hauling dirt from the site. He started in the back yard this morning and was working on the front when I arrived around noon.

The last photo shows the back yard with the big ridge of excess dirt gone. The JLM landscape guys decided to have Don leave most of the small dirt pile beyond the garage to use as they fill in the trenches and finish “sculpting” the back yard. After a month of near record “wetness” it feels good to have this particular effort complete.
