The view of the machine shed from the hog barn. Huge pile of dirt used to be the back cattle lot.

The view of the finishing shed from the new road that goes back to the hog barn.

Pete Brenneman was one of the Ideal haulers

About 45 truckloads in all

So many drivers- it was hard to help them all find the driveway to the south. That's Shaw's building in the background

Nine guys from Davenport pour the floor. They stayed at Pull-er-Inn last night.

Duke checks out the dirt work
That is one LOOOONG building!

Diggin'!


 

Daniel Keith Yoder pulled in on Saturday before Easter with BIG machines. Marvin K. Yoder (Neta Faye's husband) ran this dirt scraper. It's taking the good top soil off and laying it to the side so we can use it around the building to grow grass for the kids to mow when the building is all done. This is the laser that tells Daniel Keith where to dig and how deep, but he says since GPS that's all out of date. Still works, though. And is beyond my understanding.
