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

The Plan:
The first step to this process is moving
several tons of dirt. This is very brutal work. It's a good thing we waited until the hottest part of the year to do it (heavy sarcasm).
The Excavation:
We will keep you posted on the progress.

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!!!
