saturday work continued

more pictures....

Here is the mess of wood that resulted from disassembling the green awning. I helped pound the nails down so they weren't dangerous. You can also see here the brick wall that fell down under the weight of the awning, once it came down.


David did all the carrying of the wood back to the junk/garbage pile in the backyard.

Here is the Before picture-- looking from the sideyard back into the backyard.

And this is what I call the aftermath picture. You can see all the dirt moved into the yard--we raked it into the holes. We are trying to use the dirt we moved to even out the nooks and crannies in our yard. This picture also shows you our junk/garbage pile in the backyard. I really need to take a close up of this pile. It really makes us feel like we've been working hard. (and see part of our new trees :-)

And, I couldn't post without showing you our new trees from a good angle. They are Raywood Ash trees. They will be wonderful when they fill out.

The yellow stuff on the back fence was more of that fiberglass corrugated material (like the green stuff on the awning). I took that down a month or so ago. It didn't seem to serve a purpose other than being ugly.
