Leveling the yard




The place we just moved into has a big yard. The back yard is where an old potato cellar used to be. Since they took the cellar out the spot where it used to be has turned into a mess of weeds and left over dirt piles over the years. When we moved in the land lord told us we could make improvements to the house and yard, in return they would take money off our rent for that month. Last week my dad and brother came over to help me get all the random piles of fence and metal out from in the weeds so we could burn the them. As we were doing that it started snowing on us, and snowed for the next few days. This made it so that the weeds were to wet to burn. We went to Utah this weekend and that gave the weeds time to dry. Today my brother and I burnt the weeds off the yard. My dad came over to see what it looked like and helped us out. As we were looking at the yard and talking about how to level it out we saw a tractor across the street that the bishops son in law was borrowing from the bishop. We went over and tried to talk to them but they were not home, so my dad called the bisop and asked him. He said it was fine so we took the tractor and started leveling out the yard. It worked great, Dad and Jared had to stand on the scraper to give it some extra weight so it would take out the piles of dirt better. We got it as level as we could with the tractor. We went and got a harrow and the fourwheeler to drag over the yard and get it leveled out real good. Once again there wasn't quite enough weight on the harrow so someone had so stand on the harrow as we dragged it around. We got it all leveled out and now all we have to do is get the rocks out and plant grass. It's nice to get the yard looking better I can't wait till we get the grass growing. Thanks to Dad and Jared for the help.
