And the Rain Comes

This is the Homer Construction Rule: Once the ground is opened the rain must come. There is mud. Lots of it. How will I keep the dogs out of it? Only one good day was needed to put in the cabin drain and we didn't get it. Here (below) is a small mountain of mud that was dug out of the trench next to the cabin. That used to be the parking area at the end of the driveway. 

This is the trench on the north side of the cabin now filled with gravel. A pipe in this trench connects to the pipeline leading out to the bluff.

This used to be my nice gravel walkways, now a mud pit.

Here Bob reconnects the propane tank for the kitchen stove. The trench begins on this side of the cabin and wraps around the north side (above). All the run-off from the cabin will be carried away and the ground will dry. The guys found ice down a few feet right where Bob is standing. That's a spot that never sees the sun and it is still that cold that it hasn't melted. Good news came  today that Fritz Creek Gardens is having a plant sale this weekend. Guess I will see what else I can pick up. I'm going to need a lot of plants to fix this mess.
