Earth work - step 1

The first step in construction is to remove 3 feet of soil. Then they bring in new soil a foot at a time and compact it. Evidently our soil is heavy clay and prone to shifting. So by compacting new soil it will help ensure our foundation doesn't shift and avoid cracking of the stucco. So...no photos yet, because they wouldn't be very interesting. :)

On the home front, Karin Lynn has sold most of our furniture on Craigslist. She is amazing! We expect to do a garage sale the weekend after the fourth to try to get rid of remaining stuff. We have movers set to come on Aug 4 and we should be ready well before then. we can't store many clothes in the Airstream so we have to make careful choices. Since we don't expect to move in until January, we need to span a couple seasons.

Hopefully we'll actually have some pictures to share soon!
