Landscaping Pictures...NOT!

Our landscapers started on Monday. It was actually a surprise; our contact at the landscaping company said he'd contact us the week before they were ready to start, although they had us on the schedule for this week. He was out last week, though, so when I emailed him on Monday to find out what the schedule was, he told me "Oh, sorry--they're probably there already."

Anyway, I had grand plans of getting pictures each day to show off the progress. I've been snapping pictures each night, and tonight I had some time to pull them off the camera.

That's when I found out the memory card was corrupted.

Thankfully, it was just landscaping pictures on that card, and while I'm a little bummed at losing the daily progress, the yard will still be there tomorrow to take more pictures of. It is coming along very nicely, though--the work around the house is just about done (edging and plantings are mostly in, and rock will probably go down tomorrow), the base layer for the patio is done, and they've scraped up a lot of dirt. Today they put in the giant concrete steps going up the hill--that had to be an impressive task. The blocks are 8 inches thick, about 4ft wide and 2ft or so deep. Dr. Google puts that around 800 pounds each.

I hope to get some usable pictures tomorrow.
