dirt for filling in a swimming pool

Rightreading is a little worn out. This is about 10 of the 120 cubic yards of dirt that he is using to fill in his swimming pool.

Think of how good all that shoveling is for your character. I always enjoy watching men at work and look forward to photos of the completed garden.
