Day 23
Came home from work today and noticed this sign on the road leading down to the building site:
Could they have actually delivered and stood up the foundation today?
Nah, but they did drop off 6 loads of gravel, so we must be getting close!

For some reason this struck me as funny. Here we are on a website admiring gravel?!? Some could think that was a little strange.
By the way, this thread is amazing. Great job.

Sure Lutt! Here you go!
Day 24
The nice looking gravel has been leveled and is now ready for the walls to be set on it.
The piles are gone!
A nice thick base in the basement:
Loaded up the rest of the cut logs for the final run to the mill. They fit just perfect. Was "only" a 14,120 lbs load though.
He snagged it up in a single pinch and dropped it right onto the "hopper":
I then went back and loaded the junk hardwood logs that nobody wants and transported it the 0.5 miles to my place (no, I would not dream of driving a load like that on a public road with a single strap!) There was more than I thought and I still didn't quite get everything. I'll clean up the rest of the pile over the weekend.

Pete, you got her looking good. Thanks for the time and effort to post pics. I hope you truck is doing okay after the recent work you had to do on it. The trailer and log cradle also look like there doing well for ya.LUTT
