Backfilling!

apparently i haven't been doing a good job at keeping this updated  :-/

anyway...

just starting to get it backfilled...

we've now done a good portion of the backfilling. still need to fill in some spots and grade the outside so that its back up to the level it was before digging the hole. we also have to better level out the inside for when we do get to pour the slab. we've decided to go ahead with framing before fine tuning the slab prep and whatnot so that its protected from the elements when we do the plumbing/conduit trenching and when they pour the slab. FRAMING STARTS MONDAY!!! when the framing gets started, then things really start to take shape  :-)

we're hoping we can find a way to get rid of the dirt mountain in our front yard so we can have somewhere for materials to get delivered and not be in the "driveway"... plus it would just be nice to get rid of that pile of dirt anyway.
