The major projects for 1996 were to finish stockpiling concrete blocks and rebar, building the foundation, buying logs, and getting the septic system installed. Here I am continuing to haul blocks to the site but using the wheelbarrow makes it easier than the backpack.

As soon as the weather permitted, I went back to work laying up the foundation.

I was able to drive the pickup up past the building with loads of sand and gravel. Here I am unloading mortar sand into the bin between the double tree and the rockpile.

Having fun mixing mortar and laying up blocks.

The crawlspace door frame is in place and the foundation walls are growing
