Ok, disclaimer... I have been running a pretty good fever, so I took a bunch of nyquil BEFORE taking the 50 artful pictures posted in this wonderful gallery.

New picture posting format

So, the way I was posting images did not make Erin all smiley, so I wrote some code to generate galleries automagically... welcom to the first auto-gen gallery, it is basically a re-posting for the last 34 images from the previous post :-p

I took the kids there and they played in the mud;) You will find that many of this set of pics have Kane, Roan, and Erin in them... There was a tragedy when Kane's shoe got stuck in the mud and he walked right out of them... pics of Erin extracting them included;)

Digging is beginning;)

so we got the permits and of course, it starts raining;) But we got about half the digging done... Erin went and took pics at the beginning so here are three. The trees that needed to be cleared are gone now too... so that's good... also, we are on rock, which is of course great! All that's left is another 5' deep and this part is done... with a little luck on the weather tomorrow... we may get the forms for the footing down by the end of the day tomorrow... rock on.
