In the spirit of thinman yard projects, **** digging!
The place I just moved into had (and still has) a disaster of a front yard. People who lived here previously installed a sprinkler system, but apparently gave up on the yard and completely let it go. Literally all weeds, zero grass.
So I decided to dig it all up and start over.
And bc the sprinkler lines were down there, I didn't want to use a rototiller and risk breaking a pipe, so I dug it all by hand.
Might be one of the dumber things I've ever attempted.
Imagine this density of weedage but 2-4 feet tall across the entire yard. That's what it was like when I moved in. These first 2 pics taken after the weeds were cut down

Day 1
Slooooooow going
Day 2
Day 3
Today
I thought I could knock this out in a couple hours and have all the weeds gone, soil raked smooth, and be ready to spread grass seed and plant flowers and plants on the far side within a day.
NOPE! not even close.
**** weeds, **** shovels, **** digging, **** the morons who let the yard get out control, and **** me for deciding to do it this way.
