Backyard cleanup!!




We have started cleaning up the backyard! Pulling weeds, picking up sticks,and ... removing rocks!! Huge boulders in the ground. My husband has built a waterfall that flows into our pond. I love it. well I loved it. until he decided it wasn't big enough so he ripped it all out and started to dig deeper and higher. After all two water drops is better that one! Well he ran into a hard spot! A huge rock that couldn't be removed with a shovel.

He came home from school monday and decided to tackle this rock. He asked me to give him an hour or so to work on this so I took the kids to the park. An hour later I came home to find a huge machine in the backyard. Hugh had rented a JACKHAMMER of all things to remove this mamouth rock!! He didn't stop at the drill and chisel. He didn't waste any time.. I had to "Git 'er done" he said. He was still shaking a day later from the jolting. He couldn't hear for a couple of days, but That darn rock is OUTTA THERE!! Now we are waiting patiently for the final result a DOUBLE waterfall! pics will come of the result, but here are pics of the project!
