Progress! We have called for inspection of the cesspool and house placement. Wish us luck!
Also, I have met a new fellow who is interested in some of the trade and barter and "jobs" some of us have been sharing.... to whit.... he has access to a large truck and loader. Since I can't get the excavator to do what he promised, there is hope for those of you who wanted soil thanks to our new friend Dave. He will first be loading up fill and rock that he needs... then he is willing to make some deliveries. He still wants the $80 delivery fee... I guess he has to pay a driver and the fuel and all... but there is hope for those of you who have already emailed me and asked for dirt delivery. I will get back to you in order.... just hope for no rain by Saturday.
All the equipment that had sunken in the mud is removed. Batt boards are up and we are spreading rock by wheelbrrow. We will be pouring piers hopefully by the weekend. Forms are being built now. Hubby has done more tile work and will be putting up shelving in the little cabin. A couple workers are scheduled to put up the water cachment, gutters and such on the cabin and the roof over the new bbq. Rain is causing building slowdowns but the garden is loving it! We ate our first cucumber from the garden yesterday. Strawberry flowers are popping out and a single strawberry showed up today. I got the taro in and it's happy as can be. It's amazing how much joy I get from growing things.
Keep your visits up and see what we are up to. As always, call if you want to bring your pick-up trucks to get soil. I can load into those little things no problem.
Hope this week finds you dry under your roof and collecting much needed water in your cachment!
Aloha, Pam
Just another day in P A R A D I S E !!

I want to be the kind of woman that, when my feet
hit the floor each morning, the devil says
"Oh Crap, She's up!"
