July through September, 2008

This telephoto shot looking north from the "lower 40" shows some of the landscaping work done at the east (right) side of the house. The debris piles have been removed and graded to blend into the slopes east and south of the house. We used our dump trailer to haul rocks and topsoil, which Dan and Jennie helped us shovel into the desired areas. Gary and Pauline shovelled 5 tons of topsoil in two days. For one load the truck, trailer and topsoil grossed out at over 20,000 pounds. We definitely needed 4WD low range to get up the driveway!
