Updating progress in real time is not nearly as cool as updating things weeks after they happened, right? Right.


To bring things up to speed, the month of February brought excavation!!

The basement/footprint of the house is on the front/left and the garage area is on the right/back of the photo. The amount of dirt on the perimeter is no joke...this picture was taken standing on to of a massive(massive!!) dirt pile. 

It was really fun to watch the excavators do their work- they are very skilled at what they do!  They made the walls and floor so straight and smooth. We were quite impressed.  

After the digging was finished, we went to the lot (do we still call it a lot? or is it a hole now?) and walked in the 'basement' to see our house plans in a more 3D-type setting.  We may have brought the tape measure to see exactly how big each room will be...  

Seeing the footprint of the garages was also a fun milestone- excited for S to have his dream garage!
