I am starting with the most recent...so sorry - it's backwards this time.
Here is our foundation hole - neat soil layers...
Here we are in our hole...
This is the excavator that dug our hole...
Here is David "fishing" in our well - he is actually getting water sample to be tested. 
Here is David and his dad, Ed, at the cabin property - they are cutting down some standing dead trees (killed by the bud worm or the beetle that have killed 100's of trees up there). This tree will be used in our house as a timber frame (you will be able to see the timber in our great room).
You can see our road scarring across the hillside
road building
David on the excavator - road building betweem switchback #1 and #2...There are 3 total!
