Work is moving along quickly on Eric's new shop! This is a look from the street after they removed a portion of the fence and cut down some trees. We now have PLENTY of firewood!
This is the first Bobcat that was brought out on Tuesday. It didn't take long for this one to get stuck in the mud! They brought out another one on tank treads and it worked great until it started smoking! Fortunately, a repair crew was on site quickly to get it working again. This is probably about the time that the phone and DSL lines were accidentally cut. Thank goodness those are back up and running today!
There were 8 loads of dirt delivered during the excitement yesterday. We were quite the spectacle in our neighborhood! Our builder said people were driving by and gawking all day!
Here they are pushing the dirt into the forms. They will be out tomorrow to pour the concrete, then they will let it sit for about a week before putting up the building. They are also going to remove the lone tree that is still standing at the edge of the orange dirt. Our builder thought we would want to keep as many trees as possible, but I think we can spare 5-10 out of the 100 that remain! We are having a small pad poured for the RV right about where that tree stands, and we really want a straight shot when backing it into place.
More photos to come once the concrete is poured! I'm so excited that we will be able to move Daddy into his very own office, and Reed will have a bedroom! It is really going to be great for Eric to have a dedicated work space, as well as a spot for his hobbies! BTW...went to the doctor today and the baby is measuring right on track. He gave us a thumbs up with one hand and a Hook 'em Horns with the other! He's obviously happy about the progress around here!
