Dirt, plumbing and music

We had our little dirt mover back this week to pile up the dirt for our front porch.  It is so much more convenient to just walk in the front door of the house rather than climb in by ladder!  

Not sure if Bruce is running from the little machine or just surprised to see me before 10 AM!

The guys are now constructing the retaining wall for the dirt.  It will come across and join up with Mom's wall.
The plumber is also here today roughing out the plumbing under the house.

We rented an auger to drill the holes for the porch columns.  Then they will fill with cement to build the arch columns.

They have also put in all the basic electrical and we are waiting for our satellite/tv guy to come this afternoon to put in all the internet and tv wires etc before the sheetrock goes up.

We took a break on Sat. evening and went with Dave and Kristine up to Zions Natl Park.  The Utah Symphony was there on the #5 stop of their National Park Tour.  It was outside at the OC Tanner amphitheater and although a little warm, it was an incredible evening, even stopping for dinner beforehand.

The music was fantastic, the scenery breathtaking, and the company delightful.  Thanks to Dave and Kris!
