More Stub Walls and Sand to Move

Busy week (or two, or so). Working on the final four stub walls. When that is finished, the last of the back fill can be done.

Drain tile are in, sump bucket is placed, water and geothermal lines are run.

Now I need to order another yard or two of sand...

                                                                                                         ...actually ten yards, and here it is!...

...but, but, but...it needs to be here!






I have two good arms, but only one shovel! Oh well, so it will take a while.

As it turns out, my concrete guy, plumbing guy, and sand and gravel guy, are all retired (teaching, plumbing, sand and gravel). They see this retired solder and teacher in need of a little help, so they send a second  shovel. They even said I could drive it tonight if I want.

We might have concrete by the end of the week or early next week--Lord willing and the creek don't rise, that is.

I've been in touch with the floor joist folks. They are working up the order and cost for the next step. Electricity has been here and once the floor is poured and the basement capped, he will run electricity and internet to the house. Progress?
