Okay...so back to excavation...sort of...

I'm sure you are with me on this one...I'm SICK OF DIRT!!  I'm so tired of seeing dirt, gravel, clay...all things brown and dirty!  We aren't really back to excavation but it feels like it to me.  We are now in the process of filling in the basement, garage, footings with ...what else...dirt!  Fill dirt to be accurate...gravel really...

Sorry for the jumble...took a lot of photos to try to give you a good view of what's going on.

Next week we are hoping that we will finish up with the dirt and be prepared to move on to the fun stuff....framing!!!


the tube in the foreground is for the 'french drain' that goes around the house to drain moisture
the forgotten post platform has been poured! Post coming soon!
This guy is a cool little remote control compactor...don't want him rolling over your toes!
Hi ya! from the back of the house looking down on it



the driveway  is still piled high with dirt to right of foundation...hope that clears & levels out soon!

view from the basement gravel to the car

probably just me but the garage seems a lot bigger than the house!

Basement view...still have a nice view of the lake!
