got a shovel? come on down!

3 dump trucks of fill, 1 dump truck of drain rock, and 2 dump trucks of sand.

That is what we dealt with today. The outside of the left side of the foundation was back-filled this morning, then the drain rock was dumped, and we spent a good part of the day spreading it around the foundation with shovels and wheelbarrows. With that done, I thought a quick dip in the hot tub and a cold beer was in order.

Then came the sand. One truck load dumped inside the foundation. We must have been pretty impressive moving that pile, because Gordy decided to bring us another load right away. So we have two truck loads of sand to level out in the left side of the bakery, then we can compact it, then comes several more trucks full of sand until the foundation is full, and ready for the slab to be poured on top.
