Saturday came with the promise of rain and there was still a lot of work to do. Rain wasn't really considered convenient and the hope was to get as much done before it came.
This is what the driveway was looking like Saturday morning. The piles just kept getting bigger and messier!
It was Brian, Les, Dad and Steve all hard at work, digging, laying pipe, tar-ing the foundation walls etc.
The dump truck dumped the gravel on the road because there was no room for it anywhere else.
A mess, but that machine sure makes quick work of it. Thanks,
Jomi Construction for the use of the digger!
Uncle Les brought this mean machine along and we were VERY thankful for it!
Notice the gorgeous blue instead of dark gray in the sky!! So thankful the rain held off until we were finished. The driveway was already "cleared".
The trenches were starting to be filled in. The kids were disappointed when they saw it because they were hoping to have to walk across the moat on a board all gang plank style!
Still were BIG piles to climb and fill up boots with.
We had to leave long before the work was done. They first had a bath :)
Steve and Dad had this system worked out for the narrow side of the house.
Then we left. One of the things I did was watch Leah give a demo for some Rotary Club members. That would be Leah upside down there :) So much fun being a flier!!
And by the time we came home they had dug a 14' hole, filled it with proper drainage and closed it back up. Then they smoothed out all the dirt...
but those are pictures for another post.
Once again so thankful for the expert and hardworking help and for perfect weather!!
