Last weekend we had a visit from cousins Lydia and Robert. They are the same pair that helped us early in the project, cleaning up my design and helping tremendously with decisions about how to situate the house on the land.
Time has come to assess the site again, in order to establish some plan for how we will restore the contours of the land around the house . Although a lot of this is “landscaping,” there are connections to systems work that needs to be done fairly soon – like bringing a water line into the house from the well. 
Again it was time to use the compass and transit/level to establish the levels of the surrounding terrain. And once again we're lucky to have Lydia and Robert helping us with this challenging but important part of the project!
As you’ve surely gathered from the pictures throughout, we have quite a bit of slope. Still, its always surprising HOW MUCH the drop is (that's the well under the plastic bag and inuslation)
The house pic will look like all the others, but if you can see them, there are gutters now, in anticipation of you know what in the fall!
There's been a lot going on inside and I haven't had the patience to take inside pictures, but I will try to do so tomorrow and then post . THen it's a shor work week and VACATION until labor day.
