Wow! They moved a lot of dirt today but there is still a lot left!! The crew did a rough backfill around three sides of the addition. They didn't fill under the current house yet. They easily took down the dog kennel and moved it away since we don't need it at this point. We had planned to rebuild it but probably wouldn't have gotten to it until spring. Now it is out of their way for cement trucks, backhoes, etc. They also gave us more parking area next to the road and a turn-around spot in the driveway. Looks like Dave will stay home tomorrow morning to talk to the guys about where to put the rest of the dirt, where we want the yard more level. We have been trying to take the old woodshed down all summer but just haven't had the time to get it finished. The workers said they could take it down when they have smaller equipment so they won't disturb my flower bed that is on one side of it.
Tomorrow they will fill areas in the basement floors and prep to pour the cement slabs. Hopefully the cement truck(s) will be here Wednesday.
On the closet: We didn't actually do any work on the closet yesterday. We spent the afternoon/evening making two trips to Home Depot to get our lumber home. With just a small truck, it wouldn't all fit in one load. As it was, the first load was so heavy the front tires barely touched the road!!
