All 16 trees that were within the house perimeter are down and the root balls were hauled away. That meant that the excavator was ready to start digging the big hole today. He hit rock fairly quickly, but it looks like the rock crumbles pretty easily. He just dug a few test pits today, so the next few days will tell how bad the rock really is!

How far down do we have to dig for that garage?
All quiet after work today.
They saved the trunks for us to keep as firewood (we'll be set for many years of fires!). Andy was excited to have a reason to own a chainsaw finally.
The two biggest logs from the monster tree that we might save for lumber...fireplace mantle? Any other cool ideas for Andy to use this wood?I'm figuring out this blogger stuff...notice the new background. I turned the construction progress post into a separate "page" so you have to click on the page link to the right to find our daily photo of the lot and see the progression. That's the quick and easy check on what's changed...especially for the days that I'm lazy and don't do a post!
