Week 5 - Posts, pushing dirt around

This week the steel posts that will permanently hold up the house were concreted in, and most of the timber blocks removed. Once the diagonal bracing was welded to the steel posts, we climbed up a ladder and got inside to check things out. Our city glimpse is still a glimpse, but it was lovely watching the sun set over the mountains.

The digger was on site all week digging trenches around the perimeter of the ground floor slab for the retaining wall footings. I found a pet rock, which was really the highlight of the week. Or perhaps it was my game of high stakes Jenga.
