Thanks JJ!
Back at it again. My goal today was to get the front and back yards cleaned up. The front had all of that leftover stone and a bunch of sand and rocks and stuff. The back is a total disaster. I've decided to just fill in the hole where the pond was. So, we dumped all of the leftover gravel, base material, and lots of rocks into the hole. I'm still going to have to get some dirt to fill it in.
I picked up 2 laborers this morning. The first one sort of just shuffled out. I was hoping he wasn't going to be as lazy as he appeared. He was. The other guy did OK but he was as old as me. My plan was to give them some basic instructions and let them work. But it was painfully obvious right away that I had to be working as well. I outworked both of them.
We got the front yard in pretty decent shape, but I ran out of gas working on the back. Neither one of them was working very hard so I just called it a day.
I may get Tomas to finish up the back. I want to use all of my leftover flagstone for walkways and I might just turn it over to him and his crew. We'll see.
Anyway, here's some pics.

Back yard before and after. You really can't tell the difference. Still looks pretty bad.
