Not too much has happened over the last few days. The rain has been dodgy for a change, so I was able to get more stuff in the dumpster. It is between a quarter and a third full now. I don't recall if they are hauling it away today or tomorrow, but this is likely all it will get.
I mostly cleaned up over here in this area. I tried to put the cover in it too, but I wimped out. I can't really pick it up to move it well.
The back yard had some stuff removed, but it wins this round.
I will need a full week of sun at this point to dry everything out. If I can manage that, I will get another dumpster for the back and put it on the slab, rent the excavator, etc.
I made a trip to Cold River materials (where I have been getting the gravel) and asked them what their construction fill is. Turns out it is mostly silt, with a little sand and clay mixed in. Basically leftover dirt that isn't good enough to be dirt. Silt is very fine, but packs well, and will grow grass just fine if I can keep it from eroding away until the grass (who am I kidding, it will be weeds) comes in. I tried to find Ground up at lunch as well, but their address leads to a forest. One of my coworkers has been there before, so I will poke him more on that. I called another quarry, didn't get anyone though.
