day . 48

today was one of those days that was super discouraging. a group of us graded by hand, with the help of shovels, the pick axe, and a wheel barrow, the matron suite. there was no way that the trackhoe would fit through the door and the dirt had to be taken down almost 8 inches in some places to get it 2 inches below the footing. we stated by setting up the transit and marking the really bad places to work on first. the only thing to do next was shovel and shovel and shovel some more. thankfully we had cody to wheelbarrow the dirt out to the front of the building. by the end of the day the wheel barrow was on its last leg. but robert showed up with a new super nice blue one! we spent the last part of the day putting it together. it is much sturdier than the old one, it actually stands on its own. haha.
