Dirty job

It's time for some land-scaping, starting with this 50 tons of crushed limestone at the driveway, and loam near the house. After this stuff settles some, I can set the large, flat limestone boulders which will serve as the entry steps. Then I'll call in another 80 tons of fill to complete the carport area and cover the geothermal well piping in the back.

After this fill work is completed the exterior will appear to be pretty much complete from the street. Around back the first floor deck and water tank enclosure will still be notably absent, but those aren't issues that the homeowner association people should really care about. And right now, my goal is to get things complete from their perspective. Little will they know that virtually all of the interior won't be done until well beyond their construction deadline. Oops, unless of course any of them happen to be readers of my blog...
