First tire row...

The radon and septic pipes still haven't been layed, but in the meantime we can get started on the back wall, since the pipes are all near the front. Here's some pics of Tom getting started. The first row takes a lot of time because all the measurements have to be bang on.
 The excavators flattened a platform of dirt for our home to go on, and made a huge pile of dirt next to it to fill the tires with.


Now to call the fire commissioner so she can come out and inspect. The municipality knows it's going to be a long-term project, but they want to make sure we break ground this summer.

Start date

Lots of people have been asking when we'll get started pounding tires. The excavation crew is nearly done; radon pipes and septic pipe will be going in this week, and then it looks like we can get started on the fun stuff this coming weekend (May 30-31)! Anyone interested in volunteering please email me at sarah.plosker@gmail.com :)

Excavation work

Brand spanking new road going into our property.

They used clay from on-site, so I guess we get a new dugout too ;P

New road, looking the other direction (dugout on left).

Platform for our home!
Flags marking the outline of the building, and where to put septic pipe.
