And so the job begins...(sorry, phone pic)


Starting with the removal of the topsoil. What little there is of it.
There is nothing but a dirt driveway here and there are a few sections just off the road where large puddles form. Most of the subsoil will get deposited there to level out the drive.

The rest will get dumped into the crater left by a small pool...

Rained quite heavily yesterday. Real hard for a long while and we didn't have any water come in. It must have been one heck of a downpour a few weeks ago to have had that water come in. I'm very optimistic after seeing the water drain away yesterday. That's about as bad a rain storm as we get and with nothing coming in, it must be a very infrequent instance where it does. This drain should alleviate even that possibility.
