Digging Our Heels In...Picture Overload

Digging is DONE! Yesterday, by the early hour of 2pm....our big 1000 square foot (18ft deep) hole was dug! DONE!
It's that ginormous dirt pile that will bump the concrete pouring out until Monday (was scheduled for Friday).
Here is the lowdown on yesterday:

Big huge, orange machine showed up promptly at 7:30am:
3 little noses pressed up against the glass to watch as the digging began!



Just nuts!

Throughout the day, a Bobcat went from backyard to front yard hauling dirt into a dump truck. I'd say they got about 15 trips before the dump truck needed to go (to where, no clue) to empty out the dirt and return. Repeat, repeat, repeat.....all day long.


There it is....our new addition! Can you see it? Office, Master Bedroom with en-suite bath, closet and laundry, family room, dining room ABOVE ground and below ground: BIG HUGE open space for storage and TV room/playroom!

General Contractor, Blake shows up after work to take measurements and check the work. Overall, VERY successful day #1!!!

  1. That is some hole! Saw your link at It's Always Something... I've got G/G twins, almost 6 months old (and two boys 3 and 4 years old!) It's fun to see what I have to look forward too!
