Things are moving right along...including me!

Well, things are starting to get done! We are still having a major challenge directing water AWAY from the home site, so Lynn and I rented a Skid Steer with a bucket & trenching attachment so that we could dig some ditches and move dirt around. I went to Jefferson Friday morning to pick them up and trailered them all by myself! Yes I am a big girl now.

When I got out to the site, the trenching DID NOT go as smoothly as we had hoped. It was kinda like digging a hole in sand and with a fork - please take a moment and picture this.................................................................................................................
Now that you have visualized the extremely frustrating situation we were in, I feel as though we've all shared in the pain. We worked all morning to get water to drain off the site and to try and make sure while we were trenching, we kept the depth at the proper level of fall. I left later that afternoon to go to Corvallis for dance, while Lynn ended up spending all the daylight hours (plus some) to finish up. It was a nice day to work and since we got 80% of the property mowed it looks so much better.
