How to Build a Backyard Part 1: Excavation
This is the first in a new blog series about our major backyard rebuild. We decided that whether we sell the house now, or live in it for while longer, we need to make the backyard usable. Our backyard has been a useless slope since we moved in. The plan is to terrace it with retaining walls and make three level areas, with a patio on the lower level. Our plan is also to do it for a $1,000 instead of $10,000.

Wow! Y'all are really taking on a major project. Good luck with it all. It seems like it is going to be gorgeous.
It will definitely be worth it for potential buyers. You'll get every penny back. The investment will be well worth it. And, like you said, if you decide to stay, it'll be great for you to use as well. I totally agree.
But, what were you thinking to start in August!!? Yikes!
Wow!! Now that's a PROJECT!!!
oh my goodness! Good luck with this project. I bet your girls are loving the new sandbox!
good luck - and may fall come very soon (the question i ask myself about 20 minutes into a challenging project, i now ask you: what on earth were you thinking?) you have help right?
