After all of that Construction Preparation, we have finally broken ground!

On the night of the 29th (just after the last post), Donald came out with his skidster and worked long into the night digging out a level spot of ground for the epic barn project and creating a drainage berm on the hill behind where the barn will be. Thank you Donald!

Geoffrey and I put in a couple hours on my stone wall back on the 4th of August (I changed the date on this post ).

When Donald helped us dig out the Garden, I had him put a lot of the excess dirt into my stone wall area. Now that we have a good start with the dirt, Geo and I moved some more rocks into place to make a nice rounded corner next to the “turn around spot.”

Here’s a quick before (from last year) and after:

One of the first large rocks we moved had a large beautiful snake living underneath it:

Hello everyone! This is Geoffrey up in Montana, and I was given the honors to write a blog for my bro so he could go out and build his barn.

In case you didn’t know, our family is here in Polson, Montana at the Ashton and Anna Headquarters, but this time the activities were epic! Ranging from barn raising to water skiing, the family has lined up for a week of fun and games in true Montana style, basically.

I created a AshtonAnna header design for this blog, which you can see here:

Here are some photos of some of the activities on the Lake:

Here’s me and Ashton flying around in the tube (also a new header):
