Reading through my last few entries I realized an important detail was left out. By now, you might be scratching your head wondering why I was filling holes by hand.
Yep, that's a detail you should know. Yes, the excavator is still up at the lot, but we're not using it. Our friend we are borrowing it from asked us to park it. Something about not being covered by insurance; a detail he found out about (THANKFULLY) after we'd finished digging.
Honestly, there were times I soooo wanted to hop on that thing and polish off the project in one fell swoop. But, we gave our word. There was a section of pipe we laid from about the middle of where the house is going to be to where I filled in the trench for the septic truck to drive on that took me three days to fill. The whole while I was right next to the excavator!
You know what, it made finishing all the sweeter.
Plus, I would have never met Dennis. You'll meet him in my next blog, and believe me--he's worth a whole post!
