I'm a retired educator (teacher/principal) who moved from Northern California to Payson, Arizona in September, 2010.
This blog will chronicle my adventures as I explore a different ecosystem and build my new home.

Day 5 Adding Dirt and Compacting

We had 21 dump truck loads of dirt delivered today. It's really not dirt.....it's called "push" and it is crushed granite that has not been filtered.


Both Randy and I watered to help compact the dirt. We had to raise the entire site one foot.


Mike moved his front loader back and forth over the site for hours today. Tomorrow we hope to get compaction certification, which means that our site is ready for footings.
