    Thanks for the different camera angles and all the explaining you do. I can now hear the wind, as compared to seeing the wind pushing the water into ripples. Jackets. No sun glasses mean over cast day. Teamwork all around, no goofing around, just straightforward work, and nice speaking for children and ladies to hear. Thank you.

    A family friend in Wyoming inherited a 800 acre parcel in rural country northeast of Laramie. His wife found a hill with a view at the end of a small valley out of the wind. She wanted her "getaway dream house" built there. When they started to do assessments of the ground they found solid granite or whatever rock. It was going to be a 90 x 90 basement foundation... the rock slab was 50 x 80 and was at least 9 feet deep. So they dug the basement off of one end and the dream house became a log home with a crawl space, 90 x 90. It was a half basement under the house with the other half daylighted under his rv barn. The other side of the house had a small deck over the largest granite patio I ever saw. LOL
