June 28Mrs PK digging in the dirt. She wants to move some small plants and other stuff from our rental house.pklongball
June 28We decided we needed a driveway and parking space even though the budget will not allow a covered car park. So we brought in a JCB for an hour or so to dig out about 15 cm of dirt in the shape we decided. He piled up the good dirt where it will get spread around and used. The excess and the junk piles we had him load in to a truck and haul off.pklongball

June 28Here is the first load of gravel that will line the driveway. I am expecting two trucks for sure and maybe a third. The dirt man will decide if the 3rd is needed when he levels it and compacts it.pklongball

July 6We had a pretty heavy rain overnight and this is the stading water from that storm. We will need to re-grade this area to drain a bit better. Tractor man promised us some available time yet.pklongball
