Men with metal monsters

Shovel pic: they filled in that whole septic tank hole with one little shovel! Well, not really, but you can believe that if you want to.

They dug the trench to go from The Dump's existing well back to the new house. The Well Guys who fixed up the well housing and gave us a new pump and pressure tank back in '05 came by today to talk to the excavator and electrician about what was going on down there. They were asking me questions I couldn't answer. Thanks, Well Guys, mighty nice of you to come by on such short notice! It is amazing how much earth they can disturb and replace in a day. Scott the Excavator was still out there at 5:30 when I left, filling in the trench.

The guys also repaired the dock today. It is better than new, really, they added some reinforcement. And I did succeed in making it back to where we want the dock to go, but only by walking through the creek. It remains to be seen if they can get it back there with one of those metal monsters, and if the dock will actually span the space where we want it to cross the creek.

Going to Jane and Mac's for some homemade lasagna tonight. Doing far too much good eatin' up here! I'll have to walk further into the woods tomorrow to make up for it.
