Well, I thought you might like an update on the lot. At the left is what is increasing becoming the Great Wall of La Canada. 10' to 12' tall, it is now about 200 feet long. Bob Ford has started his final grading and will be completely backfilling the wall this coming week (after we first put in some drains to take care of the spring).







Looking from the end of the Wall back towards the entrance to the lot.













Bob Ford's big caterpillar -- you can see part of a big rock that he dislodged (about 8' in diameter). The tractor is sitting at what will be the entrance to the motor court.










Area is already about half filled.






You can see how we swung out the Wall to get around the Sycamore trees. By the way, with the warm clear Santa Ana weather that we have been having, the views from the lot have been breathtaking -- looking South towards Orange County, I've actually been able to see the sun glinting off the ocean in front of Newport Beach.

Wow, I love to see all the progress. The views must really be amazing. Now if you ever sell the house you can list it with ocean views:) The condo in Laguna looks very nice too. You guys have so many fun things going on, can't wait to see all the progress.
