Tim was a great help again today. We hope he will come back again with Paul.

Tim sets up to begin driving rebar on the north wall.

Tim had no fear of heights, so he stood up on the wall corner to adjust our safety cable.

Jeff works at spreading some dirt that arrived recently.

Bob doing what he does best. This will be the log for the east wall, but for now it's behind the house because Bob Caswell of Caswell Excavating is beginning our septic installation on the east side.

Paul hopped on the excavator and began opening the trench for our drain pipe. He started at the house by carefully digging around the utility lines.

With a few more scoops of the shovel, water began to follow the trench.

Bob stands over the utility lines and holds a shovel in the water to compare depth to the other side where Paul is digging.

Bob Caswell stripping the septic and filter bed area with his dozer.

Looking down over the front wall at some of the piles just delivered.

We had some trucks dump some cleaner fill alongside the driveway to use for cover.

Looking down on Bob scraping off more of the topsoil in the filter bed area.

At this point, Paul has dug the length of the wall and has a bit more to go to reach the pit where the drain will exit.

Stephen and Jillena came out for a visit and Stephen got right to playing with the stones.

Jillena measuring the overhang of the east end of the south log to see how much we have to slide the log toward the west.

Jeff giving Wendy and her daughter Emily a crash course on some log home building basics.
