THE UNDERGROUND PLUMBING IS IN!
It might not look like much but we only have two more steps to go through and you will be seeing pictures of the house going up.
Matt is digging the ditch for the water line on a steep hill.
We needed to bring the base up to 5 inches below the top block (exciting huh? this is probably boring some of you but hey, this is our life right now). James and Matt are dumping dirt in and the rest of us pushed it around with shovels.
We had a bunch of awesome helpers, Matt's sister Mary's kids.
Thanks Joseph, Emily Jimmy and Jared.
Here we are leveling it out to that 5 inch mark.
Here's the Polcyn Bros "working their magic" as Matt said.
Yup, no pictures of me today but I slung a lot of dirt and I'll be sore tomorrow.
That's ok, this way I get to have a tan and nobody else does!
NEXT UP? Laying the insulation for in-the-floor heating.

Does this mean you're pretending to help?!?
dana and sis- the creepy-ness is suppose to urge a certain someone to take pictures of me. he has been doing a little better though. i was far from pretending. this day i was in the ditch laying the water line and shoveling under the block to lay it underneath. Then I did a ton of shoveling around of dirt to bring it up to the right level. actually those few day were when i did the most so far. so where's my picture? hugh.
What a funny way to make a statement. I love it! I also look forward to seeing if it works. =)
