The Handy Man

It was almost ten months ago that Dave started digging a large hole in the backyard - and the hole just kept getting bigger and bigger and bigger. He started the draintile project with a small garden spade, moved on to a contractor shovel, and eventually brought in a very large blue backhoe. I'm so proud of everything he's done - he got water to stop pouring into the basement addition and now he's learned how to lay a brick patio (THANK YOU MITCH!). For a man who claims to not be handy, I do indeed think he's pretty handy. The pics below show some of the before/after shots of the backyard and patio.
