Paul with a load of dirt, getting ready to make me really.  really.  really nervous.  The bucket was 6 ft wide, the corridor 7ft at the widest, so he literally only had inches to spare.

Looks like he's watching out for the house though.  He only bumped it a couple of times.  We didn't even call them scrapes.  A little touch here and there.  

It was wet and slippery in the back yard, but he managed well.  Saved me about 100 loads with the wheel barrow :P

It rained that night, got a nice little river path for the water already.

It's a dream come true, I've wanted to get this dirt brought in all summer.

Unfortunately we had to sacrifice the front lawn to get it done so quickly.  A worthy sacrifice.

Our roommate from Saudi Arabia, Ibrahim.  First time he ever used a shovel.  Me, doing my part to share a piece of American culture with him lol :)  We were flattening out the dirt in preparation for more garden beds next year.
