we took about 80 pictures over the past few days, but instead of boring you of every small step, here's the result to date. not bad, eh?

i know it doesn't look like much progress, but yes, indeedlydee, it is.
i will probably post more pictures of the smaller detaily stuff tomorrow, but as it stands, this is where we've been spending much of our time.

and i've graduated from gopher to actual worker bee. yes. i DID actually knock that baby down myself!

mr gorbechev, tear down that wall!!!

and this is where edison spent her day. convinced that a chipmunk was under/in this pile BURNABLE wood (one of many keeper piles of mark's). yes, there WAS a chipmunk, but it left when edison wasn't looking and hid under the 2nd dumpster. edison never figured that one out.
