"Progress"

No progress, really, just lots of rain and negotiating how to shore up these walls of earth so the concrete people can get to work. This has involved an insane amount of back and forth between the soils engineer, the shoring people, the concrete people, Mr. Builder, the ever-patient structural engineer (thanks, Dad!), and Sr. Juniper. I don't really know anything about shoring, so I just wish they'd all figure it out and we could get on with it!

From time to time, we check by the lot to make sure there hasn't been some kind of mud disaster, and when the rain pitter-patters on our roof, we turn up the TV and practice denial.

To cheer myself up, I'll post this picture Sr. Juniper took from the back of the lot, where things still look lush.
