I left home early this morning to meet the septic installers. They made good progress despite hitting rock at only about two feet.

This morning my dad and I went to look at the new lots. We wanted to kind of map out where the next houses would go, but that was a little difficult without the soil maps. So we just walked around a little bit until it was time for him to meet some guys to discuss clearing another part of the new land. I went back to the cottage, where I showered and packed up before driving down to Winchester. I stopped at a couple of different places to get materials for the septic system. Then I drove home via Fayetteville and Lewisburg.
Liz wasn’t home when I arrived, but Luke was there with her mother. It was good to see him. Once Liz returned we had lunch, and I tried to nap while Luke did, but was unsuccessful. This afternoon we just played and read, then Liz went to pick us up some food from a restaurant we hadn’t been to before. It was a nice evening. Luke went to bed without trouble.

I moved a lot more dirt this morning and did more cleaning inside. After lunch the plumber/electrician came with his helper and they checked everything off the list that I had for them. This evening my dad and I went to Home Depot in Manchester then ate dinner at Papa Ron’s. I finished reading Lost Horizon.

It was an okay day. More inside tasks ticked off the list and more land clearing. It looks like I’ve got a septic guy lined up for Saturday, which is a huge relief. Debbie came by to see the house and was encouraging. I started moving dirt to the new culvert.
