Earth moving and all the details
With the building site relocated to make the best use of the terrain, we met the excavator to plot out corners, discuss drainage (which seems a bit ironic given how dry it is here right now), and think through driveway approach and parking area. Armed with this knowledge, the real earth moving will commence. Over the weekend, Joerg and I made a run to the local building supply store where they have samples of roofing and siding materials, doors and windows, and all the little details that will become important sooner or later. Our mission was to pick siding and roofing, and while we were there we even found a front door. Decisions #1 - 8, done. That just leaves 8,274 more before we can move in. :) (No mountains visible today because of the wildfire smoke.)
