Digging up the buried fence

Our builder left behind such a nice memento for us in the back yard. They had a retention fence along the back of the property during construction. When it came time to grade the back yard, they apparently decided to save themselves the time of removing the fence and its posts. Instead, they just buried the whole thing under a couple feet of dirt. So Troy has been working on digging it up after work the last few days. The only area left now is around the drain, which should be interesting. What a fun project! Meanwhile, I sprayed Round-Up on the weeds. After we finished, we ate one of our favorite summer salads on the deck, with the nearly full moon shining brightly, imagining when it's beautiful grass and landscaping!
This was just one last bit before he started pulling out the remaining section; he didn't really dig with that form the whole time! Along the trench, above, and part of the scrap pile after it was removed, below...
