Goodbye Stumps

We went to Minneapolis last Wednesday for a wedding. When we arrived back here in Maine we had a new culvert (way cooler than it sounds) for our road. Even more exciting the excavator driver put in a day worth of stump pulling and dirt pushing and made us a quasi house site. It still needs a fair amount of excavation and grading work but it is a huge improvement from the hundred or so stumps that had been there!


As you may or may not be able to tell there is a pretty solid rock in the middle of our proposed house site. It is gigantic piece of ledge... the tip of the ice berg if you will. We are either going to take the simple route and just bury the thing under the house, we need to build up anyway for drainage reasons, or we are considering having someone blow it up! I'm looking into the latter option if for no other reason that it could be awesome. And yes the brush piles have already crept into the scene, I'm burning again this week :P

You should build the house around the rock and have a window so you can always see the rock. That way you can truly say this house was built on a rock OR you could say your house ROCKS.

Looks great my man!

I like the idea of blowing it up... but then again it'd be nice to say that rock represents the love you have for eachother and it's the foundation for your home together. excuse me, i just threw up in my mouth.
