June & July

June was kinda slow, quite a few delays due to equipment and stuff trying to get the pad built. But we finally accomplished that by hiring a local guy with a dozer to come do it right. And once we got that level mound of dirt like we liked it, things have really started to take off.... As Tara types right now, Lance and some recruited help are levelling gravel to prepare for concrete to be poured this weekend! Here are the pics:


Pad finally completed:

Fortunately we did have an auger (again, though, easier said than done)















Our first corner post:




















Our lumber delivered - actually quite a violent methodology:
