Earth work

 The ground needed to flattened and excess soil had to be removed to make way for the foundation.

The little guy loved the truck so much he wanted to keep it, but I'm afraid a long-term rental would have been out of the question. Though, for just a 24-hour rental it was only 10,500 yen from Japan Rent-a-Car. Very reasonable.

This was the last load. The entrance was too steep and the truck was unable to back in, so each time I had to drive straight into the garden and back up. The process was somewhat tedious as it's not the widest lot.
