Jonathan - one of the builders - was here today. He painted the bottom half of the foundation walls with hydrocide... knocked off metal brackets leftover from the forms having been removed... cleaned off the "cream" (leftover spooge at the base of the walls that oozes out as it dries - similar to the Buddha statue's garotte of gorilla glue). Last but not least, he pumped out thousands of gallons of water from under the foundation and from the moat.
The excavator should be here tomorrow to backfill. This is kind of a bummer, in a way, because I've been getting these pictures by standing on top of the dirt mountain. And the dirt mountain will go away. As will the gravel road. But I guess, ultimately, I can let the dirt mountain go. Yeah, I can let it go.
Soon, that cute little garden shed in the background won't be visible from this side of the house.
