The foundation guys arrived today. They did preparation dirt work to pour the foundation crawlspace.



The little John Deere tractor that will scoop the dirt out and make the ground level.



Starting work.



A view of the finished leveling. The front of the house will be at ground level. The back will be about four feet to ground level. The crawlspace will be 4 feet high so maintenance and repairs will be easier to do.














Another view of the finished "hole in the ground."













There is a doe who hides in this brush pile. We believe there is a fawn here, so we're leaving it alone for the moment.













The grass I planted by the garage is growing!













A butterfly on lands on a stalk of Queen Anne's Lace. This patch of wildflowers is right next to the road running to Echo Ridge.













A rabbit stops to munch corn at Mom and Pa's stump feeding area.
