Dirt

Farmer Steve and I spent Friday through Tuesday, during our non-work hours, moving over 150-yards of dirt and gravel around the barn. We had to bring up the grade as much as 13-inches in some spots. Most of the work was done with the tractor, but we still had to wield our shovels to get the dirt into the stalls. Once we were all done, we realized we may actually benefit from another 60 or so yards. 

It looks so much nicer with all this clean fill around the foundation. The alpacas, well, those girls were not thrilled with the change. Took them two days to go into the barn on the nice soft sand floor. Silly girls.
