Hi Sam, I was sore for many days after doing this. There was a lawn that needed removing. It was after a long drought & the soil was baked hard as concrete. I neeeded a pick axe to break it up. I removed two tons of baked clay, replaced it with an equal ammount of new topsoil. At this point I questioned the wisdom of this makeover. I was in agony even before the rocks went in, all of which needed rolling in to place as they were far too heavy to lift. I had estimated a weekend to do it all, but it took a lot longer.

When confronted by a difficult problem, you can solve it more easily by reducing it to the question, "How would the Lone Ranger handle this?"
