The new excavator arrived yesterday. They hauled the old one away to fix and now we have a new one that works like a charm. C went out to the property on his way home from work and spent 2 hours digging. it looks amazing. Although we still have about 2 more hours of digging left, the house needs to go back about 5 more feet. The doesn’t sound like much, but if you think about it the walls are at least 12 feet deep at that point. Standing next to the back walls right now (which are about where the living rooms will be) is pretty crazy. The walls are about 3 feet taller than i am!!
I am so excited about how the whole thing is coming together. I still can’t believe it’s really happening. We will be meeting with our architect soon to finish up the plans so we can take them for approval. We will also be flattening out the excavated area and digging for the grey water filtration, the cistern, and the pipes this weekend. we will also be planting the last of the garden this weekend, and i will be attempting to build a chicken coup! On my to do list for next week is getting the health department out to approve for a septic system, moving the hens to the coup, tending the garden, and working on promoting our farm so we can get some donors. Whew! busy busy!! Stay tuned for updates
