Boulder wall at foundation. It is a pretty steep hill.

Rock needs ram-hoe (actual title of photo from builder)

This first photo is called "Rock needs ram-hoe" per our fearless builder. Apparently, there is a seam of rock through our property that is tough to break. It requires a ram-hoe attachment on the excavator machine. They will reuse the boulders in a retaining wall being constructed because we are building on an incline.


Some of the photos have amazing bits of blue lake water visible from the house pad plot. That's the beautiful Lake Pend Oreille we'll be seeing from our deck one day. On the down side, the rock seam and boulders have pushed back the laying of the foundation by a week.



Also, there was more organic material than they anticipated under the future driveway. We're asking if it is worth saving in a pile on the property for later use in creating a garden. I guess it took more truck time to cart it away then they thought. I wonder where organic material goes. Anyone know where they put it?
