Ground has been broken.

Great progress has been made so far!

Here is a photo of the lot with the house and garage stakes in place. This was taken just before the excavator started his work. The excavating took place on July 4, 2009 and was all done in one day.



Here is a stump being pulled up. The operator shook the root balls to remove most of the soil and then pilled up the stumps for me to deal with. I'm not sure that to do with them yet but the should be nice and dry for a new year's bonfire!



Next, the top soil was removed and then they changed to a 6ft wide bucket. Here's Wayne the master shovel operator changing over the bucket.



The top was leveled and then trenches for the footings were dug. I used a laser level to keep the depth consistent. This will be my garage/workshop!
