After about the third serious bogging which took my husband and step-dad over 2hrs to get free from teh mud, they returned the bob-cat to wait until the ground has dried up a bit more Luckily the bob-cat place gave us 5hrs credit since its already been paid for, so we need about a week or maybe two of no rain and then try again.....but it keep bloody raining here!! Fingers crossed for spring weather to turn it on soon!! I really want the yard levelled properly so I can plant some grass while it is spring!! Meanwhile, they are going to work on the retaining wall in the yad on saturday, splitting the yard into two levels that will then be levelled properly once it's dried up a bit, so at least we're not totally wasting time I guess Caz & Co ALL MOVED IN!!

Can't wait to see what you're going to do with TWO TRUCKS worth of soil!! Good on your DH for building the letterbox ~ that'll be great to see. ~ cheers, J Thanks, we're loving the deck though waiting for it to be dry enough to do another coat of oil. two trucks of dirt should be enough to level the two levels of back yard and fill in all the garden beds around fences, retaining wall side, and vegie patch. Can't bring it in til we can level it out though so gonna wait 2 more weeks til its a bit drier. ibfragalot99 *envious of your decking* I want one like that too! Thanks its turned out great, I love mystep-dad's handiwork He is always after work if you want, PM me. DH and step-dad out in the yard starting the retaining wall thatwill separaate our main yard into two levels, I'm sitting here watching from the couch and loving it Meanwhile they also installed my new Bosch dishwasher this morning too so I"m off to fill it up and take pics Caz & Co ALL MOVED IN!!
