The never ending job

This is what we are looking like now after ALOT of work. We are still probally a few months out finishing simply due to the time factor between work sidejobs and 5 kids it is hard to find the time to get the enourmous task conquered. We have wripped up the old grass cut down 4 trees, wripped out those awful bushes(not sure what they are called), leveled the yard, wripped down old fencing, loaded up and hauled off alot of garbage and now we need to move alot of gravel from the back into the window wells and my parents backyard, finish getting out all the random roots from all the spontaneous trees, cut down the chainlink fence between us and the neighbors, till the ground to soften a bit before we lay sod, lay the sprinkler lines and put up the fence. I think that is all did i mention we are doing this mostly at night when the kids are in bed. We just bought all of our fencing stuff we might be digging fence post holes this weekend. I can not wait to have a beautiful big backyard it will all be worth it when we are done.

I honestly didn't even know you had a yard at all, let alone something that big.

Who does the chain link belong to? Are you raising the back to make it level with the side? Wondering about the graavel. You have my interest, it looks like a great project. Don't you wish you could just snap your fingers and it would be done.
