Building The Homestead House Pad And Topping The Road 

When we started our homestead road project we hit a roadblock when it came to finding “Slag”our chosen gravel topping. That caused us to postpone our project until the shortage was corrected. Now that the slag shortage is over we went to work topping the road and packing it down.
After The road was completed we moved on to building the pad for our new barndo. Building the homestead house pad required moving a whole lot of dirt from the bottom of the hill to the top of the hill.
Building the homestead house pad ended up taking a full day of pushing dirt uphill with a John Deer bulldozer. After all of the dirt was pushed up the hill the the homestead house pad was compacted and smoothed so as to be ready for the construction of the pole barn.
