Beginning the backfill process

The first foundation crew completed their job on Thursday. Friday a new group began backfilling and excavating the lot. As you can see they really piled the dirt in on the right hand side towards the back. :( Not sure if I like this or not. I'm told we'll need a retaining wall - which equates to more money or at least another thing to add to the "save-and-do-after-we-move-in" list.

Monday they will backfill the garage space in preparation for the concrete slab. You can also see on the second picture where they brought dirt up to the garage and where they began tarring for the waterproofing.

On a side note, today was the kids' Back to School Potluck. Everyone had a fabulous time! The weather was perfect! God blessed us with a wonderful turnout and great fellowship!
