4th Lift underway

  The trucks are back and we are building up the foundation material. We are now concentrating just under the building, so we will be using less material and the process should go faster. 
  Over the weekend I managed to get the lagoon cleaned out - removing the silt that had built up on the bottom. So we will be filling this area with the "rocks" from the sandstone fill we are using instead of just stockpiling them like we have done until now.
  I've been out of water at my rental home for a few days, it finally came back on this morning! Makes you appreciate something taken for granted back home. I'm glad to have the Guest House as a backup shower!

 Below is a video of what has been going on out at the jobsite.

The first part shows the testing equipment being used to verify that the fill is properly compacted - glad to report we got an A on the test!

And, it finally actually rained Friday afternoon - the FIRST rain since I've been here (the 1st of January). There have definitely been more clouds in the afternoon skies especially over the mountains and East and West of here, but just the one rain so far. A little rain would be great for our compaction process.
