This weekend I worked on cleaning up the lot from the huge mess left behind from the framing in preparation for the back-fill and rough grading. Saturday (June 9th) morning, we had 21 tons of gravel delivered. The plan was to use 1/2 for the back-fill and the other 1/2 for the driveway. Well, it turns out that we used ~approx 20 tons on just the back-fill! So not much left for the driveway at all! The good news is that we did have enough dirt to complete the rough grade. This sounds funny but dirt is a rare commodity on Kelleys Island.
Gravel delivery - big truck but not as much material as you think

Ron did a great job and was done in about 3 hours.
