HoHo Papa's House

Today, Eric sent Tim to my folks house to work.  Since there is nothing he can do at our place (thankyouverymuchgascompany), we knew there was plenty to be done at HoHo Papa's house.

For those of you who hadn't heard, in the past two weeks, my parents had two trees (including the GINORMOUS 120 year old cedar tree) removed from the front the house and had the stumps ground down.  They also had Tim dump three loads of dirt from our yard into their yard.

So, what did Tim do today? 

He removed all the rocks that were in the yard (my parents haven't had a grass lawn for 15? 10? years) and scraped them to the side.  When I arrived today, this is what I saw:

Within minutes of my arrival, the decision was made to bring in three loads of topsoil.  

Alexander has a bad cold but he had an awesome front row seat to the show.

Finally, the topsoil was spread and the yard has doubled in size.  The far tree line is the neighbors property line but it had always been obscured by the giant cedar tree. 
I don't have any final pictures from the street because it was pouring when they finished and I needed to get a sick boy home.

Imagine it with grass, a few plants and it will only be a matter of time before the neighbors start asking my folks when they are moving.

PS.  They aren't.
