Up goes the house
The footers and basement walls were put in today. Its nice to see the house start to take a little shape. Once the walls are weatherproofed, the yard will start to take shape too. Not that the kids don't mind the big piles of dirt, but it makes it hard to mow.

The Dig
Today they started the dig to get ready for the basement footers. As long as the weather holds out, they will start to put the forms in on the 10th.

The boys check in to make sure everything is on schedule
The boys loved stopping by the site to check on the progress. The last time they had seen the site was when it was in its untouched state, so they saw a huge change. They love to see the progress so far.

Cleared Lot
The lot is mostly clear of trees. Some grading will still need to be done, but will probably not get done until the backfill from the basement gets done.

Here comes the Excavator
This shot was taken two weeks before the official start of construction. Heavy equipment has been dropped off to clear out the trees to make room for the house.

Empty Lot
This is a shot of the lot from the southeast side facing west. The trees between the lots should stay, but some grading will be done to level it out just a little bit.
