Granular B and Clear Stone
Tuesday the granular B (sand) was taken from it's pile and put into the hole from the day before filling in about two feet. The bulldozer followed the excavator as it pulled out the wet ground and then it filled it in as it went along. Then it was compounded with a roller. This created our solid ground to start from.
We had Geologic come to test it to make sure it measured properly at 100%, and we found out it had 5% moisture.
All good. Easton still remembers that they had built sand castles on top of the granular B pile and that they were bulldozed down.
Wednesday the 11 loads of clear stone arrived (small rocks with no sand), and were loaded onto the granular B . This brought everything up by about a foot.
Today the day was a little slower. I had about 4 errands to run, some time at the Park with Easton while Hadley was in school, and then this evening we went and set up chairs in our future dining room area to enjoy some pizza!
Followed by throwing a ball around, slide rides, sand play and just good family time.
Now we wait to start the foundation. Hopefully next week.
