We made some good progress in the first six days of road bans being lifted. Demoed the old cabin and extra bunk house. Removed the out house and a good amount of trees. Had FLIP’s Controlled Blasting come in, drill a ton of holes, and pour in the magic stuff to help bust up this massive rock so we could start digging for the new foundation since we couldn’t blast.

We made a rock retaining wall with some boulders that our machine did not want to move what so ever, but we got it done and placed them best we could given the circumstances.

Quickly got the crawl space dug out and brought in one foot of crushed rock to get to grade and that’s it. Todd with Wassa Homes had their guys come in and got the foundation installed in less than 4 hours!

We’re happy to be back in the action💪🏼
