Call before you dig

"The train is picking up speed," says Loveless builder Jesse Smith, of J&A Custom Homes.

For starters, we've got a well! They didn't have to drill as deep as I'd budgeted for, so we're pushing off with money in the jar.


Jesse had the land marked for underground cable, even though there has been no power or other signs of life at the place in years. I found the flags and orange paint trails mildly amusing for some reason.


We learned recently that one of the garbage burning pits actually is an old cesspool (and you thought the term was reserved for politics). So we added that to the chore list for Dennis, the excavator, to deal with when he starts pushing dirt around.


For a little extra dough, Dennis is going to recycle the foundation and all of the Loveless concrete.

Chris makes use of the concrete slab to build a final, humongo fire.

Meanwhile, the earth keeps coughing up more trophies, including these unmatched babes.




This mask was discovered on a separate lakefront sortie from the snorkel and inner tube.


More reminders that kids once splashed along the shores of Loveless Lake ... and soon, we will too.
