Day 5

    Rich & I met Dad out at the land around 10:30 a.m. Saturday morning.  We spent the entire day hauling dirt from one side to the other, and spreading it out.  When we got there, Dad was taking sand from the top hill with the excavator, and filling the dump truck.  Then he'd dump it on the other end (you can see a pile in the site picture above.)     The he showed me how to drive the excavator, so I got to load the dump truck.  I also got to use the bucket to take out some of the honey locus trees surround that hill.       Rich in the mean time, was driving the back hoe, and the bulldozer (as seen below) to spread the dirt dad would dump over the bottom hill.. to make the walk out a little smoother drop-off.     We left the land around 5:00 p.m. Saturday to go home and wax the boat.  Sunday we helped get it into the water.  The rest of the day we had off to relax (& recover), but mom & dad got to 'summerize' the boat.   If you haven't looked at the plans... go here:  PLANS Or see another day's activities: Day One Day Two Day Three Day Four Day Five Day Six - Relax Day Seven - May 18 - NO PHOTOS Day Eight - May 19 Day Nine - May 20 Day Ten - May 21 Day Eleven - May 22 Day Twelve - May 23 (May 24-25th Vacation - days won't count) Day Thirteen - May 26th -& Day Fourteen - May 27th NO PHOTOS Day Fifteen - May 28th Day Sixteen - May 29th Day Seventeen - May 30th Day Eighteen - May 31st Day Nineteen - June 1st Day Twenty - June 2nd Day Twenty One - June 3rd Day Twenty Two - June 4th Day Twenty Three - June 5th   We've begun buying tile and have our carpet picked out:  INTERIOR
