!This project has emphasized all the amazing people in my life. Talking to my Grandma Bingham about our addition my Uncle Justin heard we needed a tractor. He had recently purchased a little John Deer for the work he was doing on his new property and home in Pima, AZ. So my Grandma and Uncle Justin borrowed my Uncle Craig's trailer (thanks Uncle Craig) and drove up to spend a week with us digging out and back filling our foundation for the addition. Thanks Mom and Dad for hosting them all the help as well. Westley came over on stump removal day and helped break loose the thicker roots.
Uncle Justin, John Deer, Snickers (Pepper's play mate for the week was Uncle's justin's dog Snickers, Pepper loved having a friend for the whole week!)
Pine tree stump, Step on Monday 3.15.21
Took all day but eventually got it all removed. Little did we know that was not the only large removal. White Rock is named for all of the "white rocks" in the layers of the ground. So many Rocks! have a whole new pile of giant boulders to add to our landscape.
Britton worked the morning's and was able to use the tractor in the afternoon's, a big kid with a big toy. He thinks he needs one now and could not wipe the smile off his face. 
You guys as I am looking at these pictures I am getting teary. THIS WOMAN! I love that my 88 year old Grandma is holding a shovel ready to get to work on my house. She was the kid guardian and kept Ryker from getting run over by the tractor. Even though he was deeply offended when she told him that she was going to tie him to a tree, all was made right again when she share salt water taffy with him. She is amazing in everyway and I love her forever and ever.
I love the life lessons applied here about making a strong foundation, who knew how much work it is to excvate. backfill and compact 30 inches of dirt then dig a 18 trench all the way around. Took 4 days of solid work put now we are ready to get some rouch plumbing done and schedule the concrete when it stops freezing.
So blessed. #lambson2021addition
