gravel under my basement and seed on my shoulder

We now have a bunch of gravel in the basement. Plus the county seeded the shoulder along where they graded the road.

Ever one to miss the obvious, the first thing I noticed was that chalk lines had been snapped along the footings, marking where the forms for the walls will go. I missed seeing the several tons of gravel that had been dumped in th bottom of the excavation.

I also did a bit of mowing, you can see in the last pic. Note also I’ve now taken 4,000 pics with this digital camera (Fuji FinePix 1400). I expect to hit about six or seven thousand before the project is done.

    Really cool to see the progress. I just stumbled onto this site following a link to some of your case-mods.

    The oportunities of tailoring a house to your own needs appeals to me, and this is a route I’m interested in for my own future needs. Granted, we’ll probably still be happy in our current place for a few more years. :-)

    4,500 pictures!?!?!?! WOW, remind me not to ask you for a slide show of your house. But it’s looking very nice!

    I can’t believe there’s someone out there with my dad’s name…..Could we be related?

    My father, Henry, came over to North America via Canada….name is Henry Jaekl (Jakl)
