At the end of 2008 we started clearing our completely wooded lot. All we had were trees, a little bit of city pit that I had dumped before we started a D4H and a B21.

@Emma was small but she wanted to help. She spent some time on the dozer and let us know every time a tree fell.

We gave away all the firewood and pine for lumber that we could but we still had a few fires.

At some point I drew this as a guide for the driveway construction.

I had to upgrade equipment

Cutting the access to the basement garage was a challenge

When we finished the dirt work we had used 1,200 yards of city pit gravel on top of 342 yards of rock that we excavated from the lot.
Tonight I watched @Rana drive the kids home via our freshly concreted driveway.
