Retaining Wall

Right outside what will be the girls bedroom the hill was sloping down right to the cabin.  A while back we had this section dug out.  Today we finally started working on the retaining wall that will hold the hillside away from the cabin.  The circular lid in next to the wall is the old dry-well which will be used to collect rain water from the gutters so it does not flow under the cabin.

Gas Line

The gas line was installed this morning!  The trench still needs back-filled, but I have put the call in to the excavator to get it done.  I also need to get the lines run under the house and hooked up to the meter before we can have the service turned on.

Utilities

Over the weekend, I was able to get the slash pile and the remnants of the outhouse loaded into the trailer.  Then Gary came up and dug the trench for the gas, water and cable lines.  The cable and water have been installed and the gas goes in tomorrow.  With any luck the trench will be back filled Thursday or Friday and the previous owners can get their stuff out this weekend.
