Well we finally did it! Our earth sheltered home is now completely “Earth Sheltered”Over The Top.
(We are amazed at how much “flat” space there is up there. Croquet anyone?),
And…
… Down between the East and West retaining walls.
The final job was to place what topsoil we were able to scrape off the hill from behind the house, to on top of the house. Later we will go back and rake it out evenly. Since there will most likely be some settling over the next year, we will leave this ramp up the NW side in case we have to add more material later. As soon as we can get our pressurized water system working, we will plant grass and wild flowers to help control erosion.
With the earth covering really showing from the road now, we have seen even more traffic stop on the Bay Rd. to check it out.
