Spring 4

May 19th - a week late. More photos to come. Essentially I've created the gravel bed for the concrete pad. I have yet to level it and tamp it but most of the work is done.

Spring 3

Photos from this morning . . . a week of warm weather has caused the trees to really fill out. It's lovely. I finished removing the sod and carting it to the rear of the yard where I replanted it. The other sod seems to have taken although it is a bit bumpy. And now I have a growing pile of dirt to contend with. Next step: level the excavation, add gravel and concrete slabs. Oh . . . you can see where the shed is going in on the first photo - right at the right end of the fence that appears on the left hand side.

Spring 2

The transformation begins! The tree is (mostly) down, the grass has turned green and the leaves are beginning to come out. These photos were taken this morning. I've already done some work excavating the ground for a base for the shed, due in a couple weeks' time.
