Dawson Lake Progress : December 10, 2009 : First driveway goes in

Here are a few pics of the first driveway going in at Dawson Lake. This will be used to access the 1st home that architect Ole Sondresen has desiged and Bob Chamberland and his carpentry crew will build over the next few months.

Notice the white out condition in the first picture below, taken during one of the snow squalls that passed by with some 45mph winds this morning.

To build the driveway required building up the road with the excess dirt taken from a second drive that will be built just up the road. The dirt is then spread with the dozer and then compacted with the vibrating roller. The drive will then be stoned a little later on before construction begins.
