The weather has been dry enough for Barry to start on the final grading. We were successful in discussions with the county engineer in changing the drainage system from buried infiltration pits ($$$) to an infiltration basin ($).  This consists of a berm along a low spot in the yard. You can see it in the pictures.  There will be a stone swale along the driveway and a pipe under it to collect water and another pipe to collect water from the east end downspout and floor drains, so more earth disturbance is still coming, but a lot of the dirt piles are disappearing and we can start to see what the finished project will look like. Kerch is checking into plants for all of the new slopes and bare areas.

The guys doing the epoxy floors will be here tomorrow, so we had to move everything out of the storage bay and wood shop into the office and lift bay. (The car roof hanging from the ceiling in the storage bay is for the BMW).

I will be very glad when I can put everything into it’s final location instead of moving it back and forth! I’ll pay for all of this effort tomorrow!
