The goal is to be close to level with the smaller side garage door and the grade down towards the back of the building. Same thing on the opposite side of the building but there is enough drop there I'm not nearly as concerned. Those puddles soaked in rather quickly but our ground is still thirsty. By next spring that won't be the case.

This project is driving me nuts. We get some momentum, start getting things almost done. Then nothing for a week. Then a little momentum, then nothing for a week+. I need to take advantage of what nice weather we have left for some excavation and trenching and then the gravel before it's nothing but a mud bog back there. But that can't happen until the rest of these guys finish up and get the hell out of the way. The siders are waiting on the door who's waiting on the deck who's waiting on the waterproofing who is apparently taking the week off. Then there's the railing which at this point I'll do myself which I'm sure will shave off at least a week. Then electrical which I'm just taking over at this point.

URGH.... Then again looking at it, I guess we've come a long way in almost exactly 7 months.
