Hello...... hello????

So where is everyone?

There was a lot of good posting going on for awhile and then all of a sudden it all stopped.

Is everyone having an incredibly busy summer doing fun and adventours things that they are not at home? If you so you have no excuse not to post and rub it in that you are having more fun than the rest of us. If you are not having more fun than me you need to come visit us and then you can have loads of fun.

Me - I'm looking forward to the destruction of our back yard (note the great amount of sarcasam here). We are going to scrape it clean and re-level it. With all the rain we have been getting its constantly wet (ie never dries) and it slops to the house so all the rain ends up in the crawl space. The cool piece thou is going to be the dry stream bed I'm going to put in along the fence line - basically a trench dug about a foot deep filled with decorative stone. This will give the water a natural path to follow thus keeping the crawl space dry.

Along with the back yard remodel is the widening of the driveway project. They will both probably take place at the same time as the extra mud and stone in the back yard will work nicely as part of the expanded driveway. This way we will be able to get all the cars in the driveway with no more driving in the grass. And our house will look less ghetto (I hope).
