Water Tanks, and still more dirt...

Despite my last post and things really seeming like they're going at a snail's pace, some things are actually moving along. Last week, we got both the major work of the well and pump done and a large amount of bulldozing done. (Here's a tip to future bulldozers: Don't use a 20hp 'dozer; it'll be more trouble than it's worth. Sheesh!)

So, you remember that picture I posted earlier with the supposed lines of the house drawn on it? Obviously, that isn't where its going anymore... We've had to bulldoze a bunch of dirt out of the way and rotate the home site about 90 degrees. These two pictures show before and after the crappy 20hp 'dozer did most of it's pitiful whining and pushing of dirt. (There was still about 3 hours of work done the next day; I forgot to take a picture of it...)

The chair sittin' in the second picture is where I supervised from for a good two hours. Supervisin's hard work! Man, I got so thirsty sittin' there! Good thing I drank all the water before the guy on the 'dozer got to it...

Oh, and here are the well, the 2,500 gallon water tank and stuff put in by the cute, unfriendly guy from the pump company.
