The day these pictures were taken -last Wednesday- we had a high of 85 degrees! (Only 5 days later, we have below-freezing temps at night and a mere 43 degrees for a daytime high.) It was a wonderful day for the boys to spend outside watching all the work being done at your house.
Over the course of the day, dump trucks delivered a minimum of 60 loads of sand. Both we and the excavators lost count of the number. For half of the day, there were 2 trucks working back to back; for the last 4 hours of the day, there were 4 trucks working at a time. As one truck would dump it's load, another full truck would come up the street. The sand was used to fill in the "trench" around the house and the garages & front porch. The following day, they dug the hole for, and installed the septic tank.

Of course, we had to go check everything out up close after the workers left. The light on the pictures is never that great because we can only go over there at night when the sun is setting....

The boys had to check out the bulldozer up close, of course. It was Andy's birthday, so Frank and Jane were with us.
