Thursday the excavator will dig a 9 foot hole for our basement, the basement walls will arrive the following Tuesday and be put up with a crane! That should be exciting. For today we were cutting down trees and righting wrongs.
Our abode will go right close to the tree line, so we will get the shade in our hot hot summers, it gets hot here, like HOT! The house faces westish.
EQ showing his manly powers of tree moving. There was a girl watching from next door, it is amazing how much harder the boys work when there is a girl watching.
Tom and Yo double up for a log.
Seth considers catapulting this one, but EQ is in the way, again.

And the squirrels that rained from the sky. In truth we chopped down a tree that had their nest in it. Four little squirrels fell out of the nest, mama called the doctor and the doctor said...I digress. Anyhow 4 were out and more were still in the nest! Yikes, no wonder mom was not home. We cut the top 8 feet off the tree, stood it up next to another tree, tied it with pink string, put the four babies into a planter bucket with grass, and shoved it up by the nest. God willing the squirrel family will reunite!
EQ and Luna in the sun after a long day of work. EQ got a stick poked up his nose while hauling brush, it was a bloody mess. I took a picture but will refrain from posting, unless I get requests....
Can't wait to post THE HOLE, and THE WALLS, and THE CRANE, and...enough!
So great to hear from you! I'm glad things are moving along as well. I can't wait to see your pictures of the new house as the build progresses. And those poor baby squirrels. I would never have thought to check what was up above before chopping down.
