Week 2 building


We started drilling the well. Wayne's unlce is really good at 'witching' water. He came with a dozen wet willow forked branches. It is crazy but I think it must really do something. He had me hold a branch and walk with him. The branch twists and moves when there is water... Wayne tried his hand at witching too. There's gotta be water! Our driller has drilled many in just our little valley, so I'm very hopeful. The ground is really soft and sandy so we have to have more pipe casing to get down in the ground. 

Here's the big dirt pile that the kids love to play on. It is now gone... we have already backfilled around the foundation and are working on framing and power. :) 

The foundation getting the forms taken off, before we backfilled.

Our lumber was delivered, the trusses should come by the end of the week.
And hopefully it will all be framed within a couple weeks.

We are glad to have Grandma and Grandpa back from Hawaii, they brought us yummy macadamia chocolates, and fun t shirts. Grandma also got these cute hulu costumes for her dress up box ;)
