The Continuing Saga

Here are a bunch of pictures of what's been going on in the back yard. As you can see, the garden and tennis court and driveway all look very different......More videos to follow... This is all the dirt that came out of the planter boxes (above)

This is the garden after we moved everything off and took out all the ground cover and carpet.


This is the lawn after i'ts been driven over with the tractor


This is the 8 foot hole that we were required to dig in order for the county to come out and issue a permit. I guess they have to look down 8 feet in the soil to see if there is ground water down there (which there isn't...) They will come look at that tomorrow. As for now, we laid fence over it so no one accidentally falls in... As you can see, it's goodbye to the fire pit!


It turns out that it's a bit expensive to haul dirt away, so it looks like we are going to re-landscape the front yard. That's going to be one big berm. We're giving dirt to the neighbors too for some of their projects.



This tree has to be taken out for the leech field to be installed. So, another tree bites the dust.
Unfortunately, the asphalt driveway isn't quite up to supporting the weight of the heavy equipment that's been driving over it. It's just one thing after another around here.






This is the hole that the septic tank came out of today. They are getting it ready for the replacement tank.

  1. We are beyond words over here, just speechless at the amount of destruction thrust upon you all. I'm mourning your beautiful yard, the tree, the firepit... so much hard work just dug up and destroyed. It's so heartbreaking! :( We're so sorry. Hope you are all handling it okay.

  2. Gang runs are usually used with sheet-fed printing presses and CMYK process shade jobs, which require 4 or eight separate plates may be} held on the plate cylinder of the press. Printers use the time period "gang run" or "gang" to explain the follow of placing many print tasks on the same oversized sheet. More than printing in black-and-white, for numerous reasons. First, and most clearly, there are 4 inks concerned as an alternative of just one and every precision machining is printed by its personal printing plate, so price of|the value of} making the printing plates alone is several of} instances higher. Second, shade printing presses want find a way to|to have the flexibility to} print the 4 inks on the page one after another, in good alignment, so that they have to be considerably more subtle and precise. Third, it takes additional time and effort for the individual working the printer to verify that the colours have been aligned and reproduced efficiently, so there's more human effort concerned.
