Excavation went slowly this past week because of all of the rock they hit. Initially things looked good with a nice layer of topsoil, minimal clay and some rocky spots that were easy to break up. But then they hit some hard malapai spots.
The excavator brought out two backhoes and some smaller buckets to break up the rock more easily. They did end up having to use the hammer hoe on the stubborn spots.
The little boy across the street asked what the big hole was for... He was pretty upset that his sledding park will be gone this winter!
Andy pondering the rock...
The back corner of the garage looks like it's almost deep enough.
We finished cutting up the last 8 logs today. We have 6 large piles of wood and several big logs left to turn into outdoor furniture for the back yard.
There are several big piles of rock to haul away Monday!

This is looking serious guys. Sorry I wasn't able to see it Thursday, the day passed very quickly. How long is the excavation supposed to take?
