Paula....Is this your doing? :O)

I was all set to post some serious pictures of the heavy equipment making more progress moving land, burying tree stumps and leveling out the barn site (all sort of boring). But as I got to the bottom of the driveway with my newly captured photos, my little pumpkin perched on the boulder at the entrance was discovered newly dressed with Halloween gala garb. I'm suspicious Paula did this decoration while out on her morning perambulations. Paula???

Razing Trees So We Can Raise a Barn

A pretty site to the west of the driveway was identified as the best spot for a barn. A few trees had to be removed to make room for its construction.

Building a Foundation

This week the foundation walls were poured.

Set In Stone

Actually, set in concrete. The footings for the house were poured on Friday. There's no changing the house dimensions now.

Bare feet

Thanks to our friend Pat Reed for documenting the bear track spotted up around the housing site. Maybe the creature was hoping the cellar hole would be a good place to spend the winter?

Bottoming out

Last week's blast made a deep cellar hole, full of dirt and rocks. The challenge now is to clear out the rubble and get to solid ground so that a foundation can be poured.
