Backhoe's should be considered one of the many wonders of the world.
Our new next door neighbors are awesome.
These are the things I know for sure.
What are the chances that we move next door to people who know how to do everything and aren't afraid to try? Slim I tell you. Gary (next door neighbor husband) is in charge of the grounds for the school district in Ogden. SO...he knows all about using a Bobcat and landscaping and using diesel fuel as a weed killer. Yeah, we take MOST of his advice but we had to draw the line at the diesel. So, long story even longer, I ask Gary how much it is to rent a Backhoe. He responds, "Ahh I know the people down at the rental place so I'll just get one. No joke 10 minutes later, there's a Kubota all ready to tear crap apart.
First he ripped down the fence that was inbetween our back yards and then proceeded to make 2 levels out of our back yard. We're putting in a retaining wall because supposedly there was some flooding in the back yard due to the slope of it. He pulled out a HUGE stump and just basically rocked it.
BUT THEN (insert dum dum dum music) as he was finishing up pulling the rest of the fence out a pipe puncured the back tire. Sh&%! I didn't say it but I knew everyone was thinking that as we heard the familiar PSSSSHHHHH. Dude. So, the back yard is mostly level but we have to smooth it out just a bit and we have to sell a kidney to pay for the back tire. A perfect Saturday.

AH, fun days. Brings back memories of watching our back yard get ripped apart and reorganized except we had to pay the big bucks.
Liked your post Anna, especially the quip at the end about selling a kidney! Congrats on buying a home.
