These pictures go back several months. T spent MANY winter weekends working on the shed/playhouse. He would bundle up and work in the snow and cold just plugging away at this thing.
Whenever it was warm enough the girls and I would go out and help him. Our "yard" looked like this for months. Wood scraps everywhere. The girls like to play with them and build things.
It looks like this is the day we were putting up the railing.
Here is the shed after he got the soffit and facia on.
In April we decided to put a pause on the building and focus on getting
the lawn and garden going. Here is what our garden has been the last few
years...a tarped off square.
T rototilled the whole yard several times to break up the ground.
Then he spent a whole day bringing dirt over to try and level the yard a little. We never realized just how sloped and dipped it was until we started trying to work with it. It is still on a big slant, but he leveled it an impressive amount!

Our yard was a dirt/mud pit for weeks! These two loved it and have never been dirtier or had more consecutive baths. :P
The dirt was super soft after all the rototilling so they loved playing in it.
And when they got the hose out they instantly turned into mud monsters!
I didn't even attempt to keep the floors clean for those weeks because it was instantly dirty again and there was a layer of dust all over everything inside and out all the time. :P
We spent some time designing the yard and garden and then he borrowed grandpa's Ditch Witch to run the trenches for the sprinklers.
All the girls helped us pick rock for days on end and then get the sprinklers laid down and plumbed.
We ended up with 11 zones!
We put in the rock border over the span of a few days to mark off the lawn.
More tomorrow!
