Another BIG one!

I haven't been to the house site for a couple of days. I've been plowing, shoveling, and blowing snow at RMMC. We officially "agreed" that there was a total of 31 inches since Wednesday. Today the sun came out and made it all BEAUTIFUL. Our total accumulation so far this winter is 114 inches. Last year we had 76" all winter. Our average is 120" total.

HEY! I'M TRY'N TO BUILD A HOUSE HERE!!!!

24" of Beautiful Snow

This is the gate AFTER three hours of plowing. The snow was up to the third rail of the gate.

Needless to say nothing was done at the house. It has been 4 weeks since they started on the water line. The electric/communication lines are all in, but the water line is still only 2/3 done.

Water Line

Seven feet down with 18 - 24 inches of frost on top. Tough job but should be done tomorrow.

Another Setback!

This afternoon when they were digging the waterline trench, the steep dirt and stone wall caved in filling the trench, burying tools and part of their ladder. Thankfully nobody was in the trench at the time! We will meet Tuesday to decide how to stablize the bank so they can finish the water line. All the other sub-contractors are waiting for this part of the project to be done before they can begin.

I've always said that Woodland Park Has the best view of Pikes Peak

Though there is little being done at the house at the moment, they have been on a treasure hunt for the city water line. It was down 12 feet and about 15 feet to the west of where the city thought it was. We could have put in a pool in the hole they dug!
