Rocks, Dirt, and Paint

More pictures today than usual. From top to bottom you'll see pictures as follows: The rock piles are at Uncle Scott's property on the Ashton Hill, and are the specimens we hope to take home to build our retaining wall. If I'm not mistaken it's some of the volcanic tuff rather than actual molten basalt (it's lighter and much softer composite). At any rate, the colors match the stone on the front of our home nicely. The next pictures show the progress with the grading around the house, including a shot of the "Redmond (Utah) Mineral" sealer that Dad/Grandpa H. and I used to seal the area under the bay window where we've had water leaking over the winter. You can also see the blue board we put up to hopefully guard against the expansion and contraction of freeze/thaw water seepage around the driveway. Inside you can see the results of yesterday's priming. Today the painters were at work, but moving at near glacial paces again sanding and caulking...
