Finally, a backyard

This week we are finally getting our backyard put in. A family friend is doing it for us. So, let me tell you about the last couple of days......  Saturday Byron hooked up the palm tree to his truck and pulled that thing right out.  Well, he did have to get the shovel out help it along.  Not long after that Charlie (the landscaper) had a couple of his guys come over and take down the fence.  

Before, with the fence and tree.
And now with it gone.  Yesterday we had the top soil guys bring four truck loads of dirt for us (there is no dirt at our house, only lava rock).  Here you can see him backing the truck around our house to the back.  
Dirt and more dirt :)
Today Charlie came and moved the dirt to a nice even level all around.  Olsen had a good time watching Uncle Charlie in his "tractor".
So, that's it for now, will post more as it progresses.
