David, it is hard work. I wish the yard was big enough to have used a bobcat... I was able to use a mini bobcat to dig out 8 yards of dirt.. Even with that machine doing 8 yards worth of removal, i still did about 3 or 4 yards by hand... One nice thing is, when you go to bed.. You sleep like a freaking rock, no problem!
Gary, I agree the end is in sight... I can't wait.. Just have to make it... The land scape company is going to come back late next week to "give me another hand". Having 7 other people help for a day REALLY helps with the progress.
