Pulling strings
Today we started laying out the house.
Suzie's friends came to visit. Jonathan works his first day.

We had to bring in 1300 tons of fill to make the site level. Here Zeke Trujillo tests the soil to see if it is compacted enough. He charged us $300.00 Hope Tony Soprano doesn't show up on the worksite.
