Most of the piles are gone now and the dirt has been spread.
I have about 5 piles left that I will chip away at slowly the next coupla weeks.
I gained quite a bit of level ground from the free dirt.
Here are some satellite shots showing my lot and I marked them this way:
Here is my general lot, outlined in orange.
Here is the original usable, flat area on that part of the lot, outlined in red. (The land dropped down about 8 to 12 feet just to the top and right of the red outline.)
Here is the new, flat, usable area thanks to the free dirt...and my T1510, outlined in yellow.
There was a lot of scrubby trees there that I either cut down and gave the wood away or just had them bulldozed in a pile in a corner.
Next spring, when the next phase of the project gets going, maybe I can get more dirt to fill in to the east (right) and get about 30 or 40 feet there.
Or enough to at least square off the corners
