Pulling strings

Today we started laying out the house.










Suzie's friends came to visit. Jonathan works his first day.

Check out our pad

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.

We struck water!











They hit water at 360 feet. They dug to 415 feet to get well into the aquafer. Suzie and Wendy are playing in the muck that comes out from the earth.
