Oh, I also washed down the entire greenhouse to clean off the dust from the construction. The fog has burned off and the sun is out! Will wait for it to dry a little more, then it is time to start staining!

looks like it is ready!!

The greenhouse stands against the background of a tall green fur tree and blue sky to the right. There's a wind vein on top of the The Peak at the front of the greenhouse on the right.

The progression of the #poolpond #backyardproject over the past 2 years. I started it on Labour Day of 2024.

The first picture is August 3, 2024 as the last true “before times” picture. We started by demolishing the old shed… but the pond work itself […]

[Original post on mstdn.chrisalemany.ca]

The first picture shows the backyard in its previous state with a picnic table in the middle some garden boxes in the back on the left, a small sports car on the left in front of a large shed and the hazelnut tree. The chicken coop and run is in the foreground on the left. August 2 2024The next picture is turned a little to the right to show the hazelnut tree in the middle with the growing holes for the ponds. The digger is in the back beside the car which is now on the left. The coop is still on the right.
Sept 2 2024Labour Day 2025. The ponds are dug and gravel is filled in. 5ere is no water and the large pile of dirt and rocks and gravel are all in the back. The new fence has not been builtToday. Sept 8 2026. The ponds are full and there are some plantings on them. The pads in the back are set and there are some chairs. Also the greenhouse is taking shape.

The pool is finished.

The backyard isn’t.

Today: loosen the soil, work section by section, and keep checking the surface.

No rushing the prep.

Next step: level everything and finally make this backyard look finished.
