Done with dirt

It should read "Done with dirt, for a little while" I am afraid the backhoe will return soon. I guess that is a good thing though. That means we are moving forward. For now we are done with the hole in the ground. Melissa and Uncle George (with Mara's help) finished the dirt work the day after memorial day. I was at work but from what I hear my dad moved as much dirt with a shovel and wheelbarrow as they did with the backhoe. At least that is what Melissa said.
As soon as we get the permit Kenny, our super concrete guy will pour the footers and we will be running again. The goal is to have the outside stuff done by the time the cold weather hits. We will see, we are already behind and are still having trouble in some areas.
The fact that I keep getting sick isn't helping. I was down again last weekend, on my birthday and anniversary no less.
The other thing slowing me down is my new job, more on that after it becomes official on July 1.
Sorry the pictures are so late, not much else to report. hopefully there will be tons of progress coming soon!!!
