Another long day for David and the twins down at the house....and another HOT day as well. The left side of the retaining wall got done and looks great.
The gentle slope down into the basement...excuse me..."Man Cave," is very hard to capture with the camera. So we got pictures from lots of different angles.
It is not nearly as steep as it looks!
Today they made their way back to the front of the house.
When you live in the woods, sometimes some trees have to come down for a project! As they get ready for the septic, the leach field also has to be cleared. This is a wide view from the back of the house.
Di was getting a little nervous about her turn around in the driveway. It's still there...no worries!
Here is a wider view of the front of the house. Still dirt to move but a lot has been done. Remember the HUGE pile at the far end of the house that has been there since the digging began --last year--GONE!
There is a lot of dirt that moved back here in the past two days! And boy has it been hot and humid!
Ryan was putting down a layer of stone dust so that the second side of the retaining wall could be started tonight.
It's been a long wait but things are happening once again at the Trexler House!!! Welcome Back! Today the machines came and leveled out the driveway. They had to cut down nearly four feet on the right hand side.
The back deck is looking more like a deck now that it is filled in with dirt. Now it won't be mistaken for a swimming pool. :)
