Backfilled

View from where the guest bedroom window will be.  Water is easily visible when the leaves have fallen.

 

On November 3 the excavation was filled in all around both buildings and the piers.  Hyrdo line is installed below grade, seen looped over the wall in the middle of the main cottage. 

The lot slopes gradually around the building and drops off faster as you approach the shore line.  The two large boulders flank the entrance to the path down to the water's edge.

The workshop portion of the guest cabin is partially built.  The side walls and roof are temporary for the purpose of storing materials required for the framing. 

The front yard is a blank slate for landscaping.

This pier, now buried to the hilt, is almost five feet tall.

This enormous boulder is a main feature in the front yard.  Better learn to like it because it's not going anywhere soon.
