March 2009 – Concrete Sea
July 2009 – Rubble
September 2011 – Tilled
We busted out that concrete, hauled off that concrete, sifted the rubble out of the entire yard, and tilled. Today we properly graded and smoothed out the whole thing. Pics of the smooth earth on Saturday. I’m happy to report that we found no dead bodies. Saturday we’ll be putting down our fish fertilizer. Sunday we’ll be putting down our grass seed. Time, water, and sun will give us a lawn. Never has anyone worked so long and hard for grass. I’m beat – can you tell? Time for a beer.

Yay! I’m so excited to wiggle my feet in the grass! :)
Umm… Not to rain on your parade, but you live in a desert. You may want to reconsider the grass idea. Unless you’re planning on natural grass, not the east coast type that needs a ton of water. Best of luck with everything!
