Building the addition ... Phase
1 ... part 1
2012 is the year for the addition which will convert the cottage into a
year-round home. Phase 1 is the foundation work. Ground was
broken on Tuesday, May 22. Between then and Friday, May 25, a big
hole was dug to make way from the foundation. In addition to the
dirt that was piled in the yard, 12 loads were taken across the road to
the Hanson property and five other loads were taken to two other
neighbors. It will be a long time before some people in this area will
need to buy fill!
