@worthy it is deceptive, a wide phone shot. The bank behind is the edge of the excavation and the upper bank is some of the sorted spoils. The fence line at the top of that picture is the same fence from the other side in this picture, between the RV and that big pine tree. It is almost at the top of a slope and the upper floor of the house would be visible in this frame.
When we backfill, I have room to cut a 2% slope swale around the house and ~18" below an 8' wide deck that goes all around the first floor.
I'll have to re-arrange a whole lot of dirt to make good driving for the forklift for setting the logs.
