We are so excited. The ground has been broken. We can see that our dream will work!
There have been questions about access to the lot. The driveway would be carved against a
very steep hill with little room for error. Where it actually would sit was not completely defined.
The tractor showed up today. Let the questions be answered. Up we go!
Dig, dig, dig. The operator, Wayne, must be a dare-devil. Because at many points half of the vehicle was suspended out in the air. He pushed earth up, he pushed earth down, side to side, you name it. Somehow he managed to push himself up the cliff.Half way up 'the driveway' Wayne says he has run into a large rock. He says he will just run up over it to get the machine up on top of the driveway. But he says that the metal treads on the tractor don't like rock. Meaning he could slide off. Off to where?
We are so excited. These pictures do 'not the story tell'. There were points when the tractor looked like it would cascade over the edge. Giant boulders went tumbling down the hill. Fortunately there were breaks to stop the rocks.
But now there is no stopping our construction! Stay tuned, more to come! And quickly!
