Dirt is moving!


Well, it's finally happening. Mark, the dozer driver, and Lupe, the driver of both the big truck and the water truck, arrived this morning. They chose to unload at the bottom of the lot on Mineral King Road. That's Lupe climbing out of the truck. He says he wants to be the cover photo of whatever I'm writing.






So far they have an access created, not yet really a driveway, but you can get in and out; and they are started on the pad for the house and the pad for the carport/shop. I'm holding my breath hoping it doesn't damage the oak trees. Seems we are coming closer to their bases than I had hoped. Don, who owns the excavation company, is also a native plant guy and assures me we are fine. I just hope he knows what he's talking about.

This is what we have for driveway so far.


Followed by a view of the beginnings of the pad for the house.







And, here's my good buddy George. Of his bright yellow truck George says he'll get one you can see next time he trades.
