Company and Work

Seems to be the pattern of life here lately, "company and work". It was great to have Pat and Jeff drop by last Friday. Mary and Pat worked together at Huttonville School years ago and so it's always special when we get together.



Of course we had the trucks rumbling through our patio as we visited.  I think Jeff was a little concerned they were a little too close.

Then it was off to Baptiste Lake to visit John and Barb.

They cleared the bush and built their home eight years ago, much like we are doing now. The view across the valley from their back deck is beautiful.

Saturday morning saw us back at work. Paul came over to dig out the drain lines for the weeping tiles around the foundation. Thanks Paul.


 Once the pipe was in place I backfilled with my skid-steer; great machine to have!

We have just about completed the backfill inside our foundation and plan to start building the walls next week.
See you soon.
