These are random photos I have taken over the years. Some have special significance for me...I try to explain where appropriate. Enjoy.

These are recent photos of some of the construction and landscaping work I am doing at home. Some photos are from several years ago. The last ones are more recent (summer of 2004):

Some of the coarse gravel I had to deal with...
Digging the hole for the septic tank
Setting the forms for the concrete footings under the cabin
The septic tank arrives on the back of my truck
Septic tank hole
Getting the levels right
