We got a bit of very good news on Friday: Loralee and a friend went for a walk on the property, and found our excavator, Brent Newland, clearing the topsoil from the homesite! He wrapped up his other project a few days early, so was able to get his equipment to our site a few days early and start moving earth around. "Set expectations, then exceed them". We took a run up Friday evening to see what he'd done, and he was still working at 7:00 PM. While talking to him, his wife and daughter showed up to pick him up. he roughed out the driveway, so for the first time we can drive up to the homesite. Next week, he plans to dig for the foundation and lay out the forms.
Sadly, we also recieved some bad news on friday: My Grandfather, William Tester, passed away. for the last six weeks he has been battling congestive heart failure. He lives in Connecticut, and last weekend my Dad and I took a quick trip down to see him. He wasn't doing so good, but we managed to talk and I was able to say goodbye. Last Sunday, he had a massive stroke, and he just faded away this week. Lor and I will be running to CT on Monday for the funeral, returning on Tuesday.
