Digging up Dirt

Jay started to dig out the dirt with a little backhoe, on the left, it wasn't doing the job so he took it back and got the next size up. It worked better but he could not get down as far as he needed to and it as taking a long time, at the rate he was going it would take him several days to get it done. These pic are what he got done before we called in a full size backhoe.

The boys had fun watching the backhoe digging up the dirt along the back of the house. They were not to sure what to think when they could feel the house shake every once and a while.

It got a little stressful when the backhoe was digging around the gas line with the big tree branch underneath it. I am so glad everything turned out ok. The one tree branch was as big as Jay's arm and it pushed up against the house for several feet ( the same place that the 2x6's were broken on the inside)
