Here we are Monday afternoon starting to dig the foundation for the new house. Joe McNaughton is driving the bulldozer. He is stripping off the top soil and piling it up to be redistributed
after the foundation is in.
This is David Sangree who is apprenticing with us for about a year. (If he is good) We are getting rid of all the scrub pines and brush. We also had to get rid of all the trees and shrubbery around the septic field. David is a volunteer fire fighter with Willow Grove Fire Company. You wouldn't know it by the hard time he had getting this fire started. He brought this dinky fire extinguisher from his car just in case things got out of hand. As you can see from the size of the fire it would not have done much good. It did give us some laughs though.
Here David is getting the septic field ready for sand. All the trees have to be cut down and moved as well as all the brush and leaves. As you can see we are piling up the top soil from the house site next to the septic field so we don't have to move it very far when we go to cover the sand mound with top soil.
Joe moving trees away from the sound mound and prepping the site.
We moved all the good trees a few days ago and David and I were staking them this morning. The site is starting to look good.

sounds like Dave's getting more than his share of ribbing from the boss. "If he's good..."?? =)
