Pictures of my Hike on Easter
On Easter my son and I hiked up to the top of the Mountain, that is behind our property. The hike took us about 2 hours to get to the top, which is about 10,000 feet above sea level. I took some pictues while at the top of this mountain, and here they are.
Foundation updates
Hi everyone!
Well it was a productive weekend, even though it snowed on Sunday. I have a completed circle that is to the right depth. Now I am adding the legs for the additions for next year so that they will not have issues with seperation.I will still have to level the floor of the trench so that I have a 1 1/2 inch drop for every 4 feet. For that I have bought some clear tubing and making a water level. I could just make a wedge for my 4 foot level, but I have no saw, maybe I will just ask the neighbor to cut me one. Next I have to be sure the walls are all 2 feet wide and then I can start putting in the drain systems. I will post pictures of the completed trench very soon.
You should have seen me shoveling in the snow and cold on Sunday, it was an awful time, but I am determined to complete the foundation as quickly as possible.
