GRADING, PORCH PIERS, GRAVEL DRIVEWAY, and GRASS

In September we had some more grading done. They filled in the trench in front of the house and dug the holes for the back porch piers. We put in heavy-duty cardboard sonotubes and backfilled. Shovelling is super back-breaking work. Also they regraded and put in a gravel driveway in the back. It is great to be able to drive right up to the back door again after all these years. It is fantastic. The final activity for September was planting grass everywhere and covering it with straw. It looks much more pleasant now, don't you think?
