Not too much to report this week. Mike and my dad pretty much kicked the septic system in the pants! We ended up needing 9 tri-axle loads of sand which I believe ends up being 207 tons!!! That is insane, a full grown male elephant weighs 3 tons, so we are talking approximately 70 elephants here people! And on top of that we had to get 2 tri-axles of gravel, the septic system is HUGE! Not to worry though, I fully intend to put a nice picket fence in front of it and make it look pretty! Uncle Chuck and crew framed the footers on Friday (you can see the pink flags and orange lines in the first picture). By sounds of things I am told a cement truck will be here on Monday to poor the footers and then it’s on to blocks! Mike told me that once the block guys come in that the house will be up and under roof in a matter or weeks. I am a bit skeptical but I will take his word for it at the moment. Check back this week, I may be able to present a basement!
Getting ready for the footers!
My Dad, moving the 70 elephants worth of sand!
