Clearing the Way

The majority of our driveway came pre-cut and pre-installed. Isn’t that nice of nature? However our septic field was in the way of the full approach, and so we had to curve the driveway to the north a bit, unfortunately through some light trees and decent sized rocks.

That was nothing for the execvator. Or rather, the rented, larger execvator, since the stones here are massive. It still only took about a day or so.

About 10 dumptruk loads of item4 gravel was used to smooth out and rough in the driveway. There’s more stones that I know what to do with, and they are larger than most cars. But you can now drive all the way up to the house location from the street!

Now that the driveway is in and passable, time to start digging the foundation. I wonder what sized boulders we’ll find?
