It was already mostly built. It had been a farm field but it got crowned down the middle and tiled with french drains every 50 yards or so down both sides. I did have to fill about half of the french drains with stone and planted grass on the unfinished part. Back then it crossed an older north south runway that was owned by a family member that lived on the cross road to the north. For several years we had the two runways available which made it nice on the rare occasion that the winds were extreme from the north or south. That runway got plowed up after he died though leaving only mine.
