The adventures in adding on




I think we are ready for concrete...yesterday was a day full of excitement. After some exploration digging they found out the we had no gravel under where we wanted to put the addition. The man who built our house, dug out all of the gravel from our driveway and put it under where the house was built. They dug out all of the dirt (hence the big pile of dirt in our grass) after 14 loads of gravel they have it leveled, compacted and ready for footings and a concrete pad. While digging the dirt out the natural gas line was hit and broken, which was a blessing in disguise. The line was able to be moved and is now out of the way and no longer going to be under the addition. Everything has worked out. I know that these are just the first in the long line of bumps that will come along as we progress in the building process. Rylee wants us to keep the pile of dirt in the front yeard so they can have a sledding hill this winter. Posted by Picasa
