TL;DR

The LTT team cleared the backyard of a ramshackle shed and a leaking pond, but the pond liner was destroyed by shovel holes and roots, forcing a messy removal process. They repurposed the pond's dirt to level the yard and planned a fire pit area, though the robot mower is out due to the terrain.

The arc

The renovation plan

The team plans to tear down the ramshackle shed, fill the pond, level the yard, and create a low-maintenance fire pit area for Gee.

Shed removal and mower constraints

They remove the shed to make room for the excavator but realize the robot mower is impossible due to the two-tiered slope.

Plant removal

They remove existing plants to make way for the new layout, with Alex taking one to replant at his place.

The pond liner problem

The pond liner has holes from shoveling and is full of roots, so they try to drain it with a sump pump and siphon.

Liner removal

They successfully cut the liner out of the ground, though it is a muddy process, and plan to fill the hole with gravel and topsoil.

Progress summary

Bricks are stacked, the liner is out, plants are gone, and a plan is set for the next steps.
