Since the ground is so hard on our new land, it took more than six weeks for nine men with pickaxes, hoes, and shovels to level three sites and cart away the dirt. The upper level is for the house, the middle level is for a parking area, and the lower level is for the ministry building (where we plan to live for a while at first, while they are building the house).

The ground is so hard that even the water won't drain, so we are going to have to put a good drain around the house foundation.
