March Excavating at the Ranch

A lot of dirt moving has gone on since I posted excavation last. Ed is making great progress. And then it rains.









Casey, his son, has come up a couple times to help. He is really good with the equipment. This is the area in front of the pole barn that we are gathering dirt from and flattening out for drainage, etc. I'm not sure what the master plan is, but Ed and George seem to know what they're doing.





This is the "luge" Ed put in for George.... kidding of course. It's to divert water from flowing toward the house.





The area where the house will sit has some loamy soil (great for the garden) and a lot of rocks, and shisht, and clay. So we have it all.

The sloping hill behind George is the wall/hill behind the house.





Looking down at the drive-way extended from end of the pad, rounding down to the pole barn.










There are only a few more days of work remaining, but we are waiting for rain to stop...yet AGAIN!







Later.
