the first two pictures are where we graded the soil to drain away from our house and our son's..where we buried the pex between us for the new
hot water boiler last November..and hadn't gotten it replanted to lawn for Katelin to play on.
well the first two pictures are before seeding to grass..

so then we went and bought 47 pounds of grass seed and most of it went in that one spot between us an Joel..and some other in a few other places that needed patched..
we got 2 bales of spoiled
hay and put down over it on Monday and watered it well to set it in ..
and then nature struck...the next two pictures are from 10 am yesterday until 10 am toady..our rain guage is full, the water is no longer just standing..but running downhill..and hopefully all the grass seed will not end up in the pond.

Joel was smart to say, let's not seed the area in front of the furnace shed (where it is gravel and there is no hay down) as we'll be driving over that area when we finish building the furnace shed (north side wall and addition not done yet)..cause if we had we would have likely lost all the seed anyway.
hopefully if any runs off Joel's side where the hay is..it will land in the unseeded place and seed it..and maybe there will be
enough that stays with the hay and seeds his place ok.
we have rain forcast for every day except Friday through next week Tuesday.
sure didn't expect this much..they said "off and on isolated showers all week"...duh..
in the first two pictures i was standing on the rear deck next to the furnace shed, looking toward Joel's place..you can see where he is going to put a walkout from his basement (where the 4x6 window is now)..a small grove of ash trees between us and him just leafing out and in some pictures you can see a few of my baby pear trees on that side of the property..and 2 baby spruce trees we are babying in the lawn..trying to keep from killing with all the construction.
that big log is one we drug over from the field to cut up for firewood..before the chainsaw quit..but we'll get it done now that we have a new chainsaw..no gas yet.
the posts and deck by the pond are coming out..we don't like them there...was going to hae an arbor over it..but changed our mind..blocked too much of the view from Joel's place so it is coming down and getting moved out..when we can GET TO IT.
the brick path is also coming out ..right now it is a bridge to nowhere..we put them in to have a solid footing to walk up and down the hill while we were working on the pex there..and the hillside..but don't have any use for it now..as it leads to the railing on the deck now.
ins co made us put the railing up.
