Daddy's Yard Project

These were taken about two years ago! Travis was busy building a welding table and a backhoe in those two years. It looks about the same now, except that the terrace has been cut back more. As soon as it stop raining, Travis will pour footings and continue with the wall. But until then.... He is digging terraces in our backyard and in the neighbor's yards between rainstorms. The neighbors will be continuing the terraces that we are building, plus it gives them more usable yard.

We called Digtess to come out and mark all of the utility lines. They missed marking two phone lines, so Travis cut through one of them, spliced it back together, then cut through it again. It jumped about a foot and half deep to 2 inches deep within 8 inches. We ended up getting AT&T to come out and relocate that line because it was going across the street when the closest box is at the back corner of our yard. AT&T will come out again to mark another neighbors phone line. Then the digging can continue.

Most of these are rocks Travis dug out of the neighbor's yard. They had a layer of rock, so that is probably why they have always had standing water issues. Our neighbor will probably be using these rocks to build his terrace.
