Maybe they aren't boars, maybe just wild pigs? I don't really know the difference, so I'll edit my post to say wild pigs.

I know they are invasive and you're supposed to shoot them if you see them. They tear up yards and everything else.

Edit: went and changed it back to boar. Apparently thats what they are.

Well, make up your dadgum mind!!! Sheesh!

Beautiful place, one quick caution:
Mountain laurel honey, often called "mad honey," is a toxic substance produced when bees gather nectar from the mountain laurel plant

I cut a bunch of it and burned it. I do not advise that. I had trouble breathing for a few hours after we left. The first time, I thought it was just allergies from being in the woods. The 2nd time, I was really struggling, then my wife mentioned she was feeling off. Sure enough, its poisonous and you're not supposed to burn it.

I would totally do a hidden safe room in that massive crawl space. Or a hidden wine cellar. Thats a whole lotta wasted space that can have some fun stuff!

The best safe room is the one you dont tell everyone about

There's def some room. With the slope, it quickly goes away, but the back 1/3 of the house will be good for something.

Good news, when it flooded out there yesterday, the water ran straight to where the under drains will be, and out of the pipe sleeves they installed.

Once grading is done (and exterior foundation drains), there shouldn't be any water intrusion, but it's good to know it will drain if any does get in.

I downloaded your pipe picture and zoomed in. I love staring at your pipe.

Long day, not following...

@randeez coming to visit tomorrow, so he can vouch for this monstrosity

Rained again last night. Washed out the driveway I just had fixed. Met og grading guy out there this afternoon. We're getting ditches dug and rip rap with check dams next week. I'm over it.

It poured rain for about 45 min when I got there today. Masons got started again about the time I left.

The amount of fill required is crazy. Seeing this in person is very overwhelming. Idk why this part is so different than the the previous work, but it is.

They topped out the back left corner today and may work tomorrow. 16 courses of block at the highest point.
