That's all the time I had for that day, so I had to call it quits right there. The next day I got up and noticed one of the dogs had tried to dig up one of the bags, maybe they had a bone under there or something. But the bag shifted and blew out so it had to be replaced.

Time for the second course, so I ran some barbed wire and used a bag to hold it in place while I dropped in the rest of them.

And that's as far as I've gotten so far. Hopefully this weekend I will be able to get some more done!

Dirt. Gonna build a faux wall for looks on the side and back fill a few inches of dirt into the gap. The other side is going to have back fill right up against the bags to level out the step. At least, that's the plan lol
