In the Trenches

Last fall we had some landscapers tear out our pond and redo a few things in the backyard. We loved what they did, but were a bit shocked when we had basement flooding after a big rain storm. A very, very long story short is that the landscapers forgot (or we aren't sure exactly what happened) to make a drainage plan when they changed things up. It's been a huge headache since the landscaping company turned pretty ugly but in the end their insurance agreed that the landscapers are at fault...so at least we will get the damage paid for. 

 Dave spent ALL DAY one Saturday trying to dig a trench. It took forever. Sunday morning at church something came up about all the rain and Dave's friend chastized Dave for not asking for help. The next morning 26 people showed up to help us dig. It was incredible to watch how fast the trenches were dug with so many hands.

It was quite a muddy day! Nate and Rigdon had a blast in the mud. Can you tell?
