One day you will be done but I bet it feels like that is a L.O.N.G. way off right about now LOL

The front yard was graded Thursday and I took out the trencher Friday morning. Got most of the front yard pipes down, drains in and lighting wired up. Concrete crew comes back Monday to form it up and get mud moving this week!
I have a time of work to do with more PVC today in prep for them.
Landscaping is going to take longer than I had hoped. High expectations, then reality strikes as one guy can only do much much a day.
Progress!

I'm loving the mid century modern look this is going to have, plus all of your windows and being able to see the pool and lovely backyard from inside the house!It's going to be amazing!
Thank goodness for machines! Just think if you were doing that by hand 
OUCH!
You are doing great work! Do what you can, when you can and it will all get done in the end!

Amen to that
Bought myself a toy this weekend. Mikita SDS Max hammer drill with a 17" spade clay bit. Watched the concrete team basically dig trenches with it. It's, well, amazing.
Used the trencher for the big work and I'll handle all the rest with this and a shovel. That spade bit rips through the dirt! Easy trench cleaning after that.
Concrete crew is in today forming up the rest of the yards. Hopefully some mud starts flowing tomorrow!
Oh yeah! We also go all the main drainage lines in this weekend. Tested it all and it's working like a champ. Big drywall in the backyard for primary flow and then overflow to the front. It worked like a dream. Tons of water holding capacity in the soils out here.
Only about 30' of 3" left to hook up a few down spots. I greatly dislike 3" pipe. 3/4 is much nicer to work with
