Progress report:

Well, we're still moving dirt... though we have reached a new chapter in the manual labor saga; we've cleared off the entire top level to an even level. Of course, we've now decided that we have to go down another foot, but that won't be as hard as the first two and a half. Here you can see Melissa standing next to a section we decided didn't need removal, as it's really 'the front enterance/yard' rather than building site. We might change our minds about that, but the point is, you can see how much we had to dig down.




And where does all that dirt go, you may ask? check out my new 'flat spot/road to nowhere' that I've created to the south of our driveway.






Other progress includes the fruit trees and berries starting to come in strong. Here Melissa is checking our 18 strawberry plants. They're covered by leftover deer block fence, for the deer, but also the birds. This spot had a big bramble and scrap wood pile on it before I cleaned it up.
