Our latest disaster...errr, project




So, the kids would like a swingset. So, we have a yard that's not level. Did you know that clay is like granite when you haven't had rain in months? Did you know you could bend a pick-axe in clay? I didn't know that clay could spark! See, we're learning so much about our new home!


Here are some shots of our .... dig? project? disaster? It's really still mostly excavation right now. I would also like to add that digging with a 50lb puppy around is not easy...especially when said critter decides to take a nap in the exact spot where you are digging or tries to climb on your back when you sit anywhere. Then, he goes and digs a hole somewhere that you really don't need one at all but that you will invariably trip in when you are (for example) carrying a really heavy tool or say a sharp hatchet. Hard to believe, isn't it? (Note: I meant the part about the dog- the tripping part is easily believable for anyone who knows me!)


We will have more pictures to follow. Hopefully, it will look like the box and we won't have kids landing in trees or over the fence...
