Got Clean Fill?

Last time it was "Got Mulch?" when we got a delivery of around 4 cubit yards of the stuff.  Well this time it is "Got Clean Fill?" & we had about 12-14 cubit yards dumped into our driveway this time.  Now that's a lot of clean fill & Bruce doesn't think it will be enough--we will see!  Bruce is wheel barrowing it from the driveway in the front yard to the back yard.  Bruce started on Thursday & Friday night after work.  On Saturday & Sunday, Calluna was delegated to help fill the wheel barrows with the clean fill--who says girls don't like to play in the dirt!  This is taking time!!

12 - 14 cubic yards of clean fill in our driveway.  Now that's a lot of clean fill!

That's a lot of clean fill!
Calluna working hard!
Calluna & Bruce filling wheelbarrow like an assembly line.  Fill the first wheelbarrow, then Bruce wheels it to the back yard to dump it while Callluna fills the next wheelbarrow.


Making a small dent into that pile of clean fill.  It is sure taking time.

Working hard!

Looking good!
This is the pile of clean fill that was left at the end of Saturday.  Calluna & Bruce had done a great job.

Getting near the end of Sunday.
Working hard!
One side filled first, then the other side and then the twain shall meet.  Starting to look really great.

Middle being filled.
Union break!
Getting near the end of the pile.
The area has been filled with clean fill and there is only under the deck to fill.  After that it will just be grading towards the fence so that when it rains it drains towards the park.

Now only under the deck to fill.

Just under the deck left to fill.

Near the end of Sunday

The last filled wheelbarrow of the last 4 days.  There is still about a yard left to fill under the deck but that will have to wait as muscles are sore.

The last filled wheelbarrow of the day!
What is left to fill!
Looks really good.
What is left on our driveway is about 1 yard of clean fill.  Not really a lot when you think there was 12-14 cubic yards dumped there 4 days ago.  Maybe next weekend we will finish it.  Muscles are sore!

Only about a yard left to fill under the deck.
