One project down, a billion more to go

Finally got to taking care of the finishing touches on the backyard drainage project on Friday evening.

I've got one bag of gravel left over but I'll probably make use of it either for extending another trench towards the fence if I need it, or I'll use it as a base for some small sidewalk repairs that need doing. Either way it's good to have it done.

The replaced mulch looks a bit obvious in this photo but it's drying back out to the same color already and in a few more days should be basically blended in. There's some rain in the forecast for Monday that should help things along.

Of course that's probably the last rain we'll get for the year so clearly I got this project done just in time!
