Play Space part 1 - Contouring!

The next big project has begun! Karl took off July 2 & 3 for a long weekend to begin the Fort!
Here is what it looked like before we got started. You can see the lines where we squared off the space before we used the Round-Up to kill off the weeds.
We had rented a tiller and began the grueling process of moving dirt. What you can not see is a gully in the middle of the space that needs to be filled and the slope tamed a little.

After several hours of moving dirt, we were all getting worn out!

But the results are much better than what we started with!


We still need to get the landscape ties in to hold back the 18 inches we dug down. Maybe next weekend we can get this completed?
