Old and a few newer pictures of the backyard.

Ugly back yard. If you look closely, you can see it's all on an uneven slope. It's all thorns and we can't do anything with it.

Ugly patio with overgrown raspberries (that the only nice thing about the yard, all the raspberries you can eat). This area is not fixed up yet. It's next on our list of things to do.

New Sod


More new sod. We flattened the top and bottom half of the yard. We put in a little hill instead of a retaining wall.
Trying to give you an idea of the slope and height of the hill. All I had was my cell phone for these pictures. Sorry the quality is not too great.

Our yard was measured wrong. We received 4,000 ft. of sod instead of 5,000 ft. It's been raining while we've waited for the new sod to show up. Marc's raking up the ground getting it ready to put down the rest of the sod.Grandpa Whitehead and Marc's dad showed up and helped us lay the rest of it down.

We had to lift the backyard gate so it didn't get stuck in the top soil and new grass. Marc laid some bricks down, under the gate, so Cinder doesn't sneak out.
