finally today they started bringing in dirt. here are a few pictures from earlier in the day. i think today they brought about 10-12 dump trucks worth. about 1/4 or so of what is to come.

it is starting to feel real now. although when i look at how high they are going to make the pad i wonder if i will have to get a bus elevator to get inside it. ha

i will keep a picture dialogue as it goes.

the critter was trying its best to get away from the trucks.

day 3 of grading and building the pad. this shot shows what 25-30 ten yard dump trucks of dirt looks like spread around. and another 10-20 to go.

the front part needed to be raised 20" for the pad and going down to 10" at the back where the ground was higher. then ten more inches on top of that for concrete and abc rock.

it is finally starting to look like a building pad

i felt bad for the guys. it has been 110 plus the last few days and in the afternoon that sun was brutal beating down on the guys.

Naw, not bored. In fact I was thinking of sending you a whip so you can tighten up the gorilla!
