Sunday, June 23, 2013 - "There's money in muck!" and I certainly have a lot of clay muck.

The outlines of the house are now etched in concrete. The photo above was taken looking roughly east north-east and shows the back porch closest to the camera, the bedroom on the left, the kitchen/gathering room, and furthest from the camera, - the front porch.

This photo was taken from the north woods and is looking south. Closest to the camera is the bedroom over a crawl space and to the left of that is the front porch.

 The garage looking east.

Looking north towards the woods, the garage is closest to the camera, the deeper hole is the partial basement, then the rest of the gathering room and the bedroom, and to the right is the front porch.

The basement looking from the west towards the east. The pile of dirt in the background is rich black topsoil that was removed before construction started and will be graded and spread around the house once construction is finished.

On the left where you see the sawhorse is the garage, then the partial basement, and on the right the front porch.

I don't know how they can work in this heavy, heavy yellow clay soil. We've had excessive rain this year which compounds the difficulty of working with clay.
