See I do have a little food storage.
This is the pile of dirt from digging out the space for the crawl space. Oh and the contractors left their bobcat in my yard for the weekend and a pile of dirt and a space that needs dirt. And the keys were in the bobcat. The temptation was too much. I had lots of fun playing. Clint did give me permission and even showed me how to make it run.
Here's my first load. You can see how much dirt I needed to bring in. It was a whole lot more fun using the bobcat than using the wheel barrow.
This is when I was done. Yah. I think I over did it a bit but it will settle some and there are some spaces that need filled in. The only thing is that I want some good mulch on top so I will probably have to take some dirt out by hand. Hey, it was fun filling it in. You can see how interested Mike was in my landscaping venture.
This is where someone did doughnuts in my heretofore smooth yard. And they left tire marks on the sidewalk. I know my contractors will laugh Monday when they come see my damage. I will work tomorrow to smooth it out a bit. By the time I got done, I had several spots like this and the guys really did have it nice and smooth. What you can't see is all the rocks in the dirt. It might take me forever to get all them out. 
I must admit that it took several runs to start to figure out how to get the bobcat to do what I wanted it to. Sometimes it didn't do what I wanted it to. My project was a success when I quit and I still had a fence standing and I didn't hit my house or break any windows. Wheew!!! I knew Mike would probably never speak to me again if I had hit the house. We need to take some more dirt out in front of the crawl space. I tried to dig some of that out but it was beyond my beginner skills.
More pictures tomorrow? I still have one more day to play.

yup, it looks like you had fun. Even the little bit of dirt that you moved around makes a difference. Looks good.
