You're looking at what's likely going to be my first big project. I was supposed to get $3000 from the seller to fix this and other smaller issues but my VA loan specialist decided to take all the money I was going to be getting and apply it to my funding fee instead ... without telling me ... an hour before I was signing paperwork for the house. Supposedly it was to make it like the seller wasn't paying me for repairs. The cherry on top is that he left me a voicemail to tell me about it and then wouldn't answer his phone until the next day.

I was going to attempt it myself but having the money to hire professional help was a really nice fall-back. I'm hoping it's just a simple matter of digging it out, pushing everything back into place and filling it back up with gravel. I think this is a result of one day last summer where the mountain got 4 inches of rain in an hour. Hopefully I'm just out a Saturday, a shovel and a pickaxe. We'll see ...
