Excavation Day 2





Another day of digging. The house and garage are now completely dug out. We have huge dirt piles everywhere. Andy decided to change the existing road to the shop so that it wasn't running through the middle of the property. They moved it over closer to the property line so now there is a road as wide as Hwy 217 running through the lot. Next step is to bring in a lot of gravel to pour on the new road and start compacting. The big piles of dirt that are left will be used to backfill the house once the concrete foundation is poured and to push down to hill to make our yard even bigger. Got dirt?? We need more!
After the lot was excavated we put down tarps to keep it dry from the rain.

Oh man! Our lot is only 0.84 acres and we had to bring in 500 yards of fill dirt to level our yard... free dirt good. Watch craigslist! seriously!
