House up date









It's like playing in a really big sand box right now. Lot's of digging. We even rented big tools to do it for us. It's hard to imagine where everything is going to go, but we've built a retaining wall in the back that will give us some flat area for a back yard. There is a lot of poison oak on the property and James is deathly allergic to the stuff. He's been itching for weeks. We had to cut some trees down and James got his tree climbing in. We're in the process of grading the land, getting soil reports, making sure the ground it solid enough that our house wont slide when we're done. Last weekend we tied rebar for the piers that will go in the ground for the foundation. There are about 60 foundation piers to stick in the ground.
