Material Storage area, adding blocks

It was a very productive day monday as we had the excavating contractor Steve Handy arrive with both his loader and excavator. We used the excavator to load the blocks from our current location and configuration to his trailer and then The front end loader to un-load and set in the new location and configuration. It took three trips and several hours but we managed to get them allmoved and set in one day. He loaded up the excavator and took it home and will return tomorrow with twelve more blocks to continue. We should be able to wrap up the block work some time tomorrow. We may try to move some of the plant material around the old set up while Steve is here with his loader as well.
