PREPARING THE SITE

I took the day off work so that I could continue on the Backyard Project.  

I took most of the top layer off, which was mostly round rocks and the red cinders underneath.  I've nowhere to put all this material anymore.  So, I'm making a pile.  We'll deal with it all later.

Here's what it looks like afterwards.  The new pond will be where all those round rocks still are.

You can see the empty old pond, which still needs to be dug out.

Here's the pile of 15 wheelbarrow loads.

I quit after 15 wheelbarrow loads.  I was getting tired and it was getting very hot out.

Ended up being around 80 degrees today.
