We Broke Ground

 The building has started.

We're building a daylight basement style house. The owner of the GC, Sheldon is holding the leveling pole and directing the digging of the foundation.



The foundation of the basement starts to become recognizable, some of the foundation form boards starting to show up and take form.

Les, directing traffic as always. Shortly after this, he took over the excavator, couldn't take any more! (just kidding).


Making a little progress.

Honestly, it is supposed to look like this.





Above is a picture Nancy took from the street above the house.
The green lawn is our neighbors. Our site is visible down below on the right side.
Our neighbor is a CPA from Shreveport, he spends summers and is a really nice guy.


A nice clear beautiful Alaska spring day.

The perk test for the septic system. Les was giving the engineer some advice as usual.

Telling fish stories.
