breaking ground

this weekend was an exiting one!
we broke ground for the house on friday evening. we cut into the side of the mountain, hauled off dozens and dozens of truckloads of dirt, dug the hole for the basement and prepped the area for the footings.

here are some pictures of the progress!
 friday evening---the digging starts.
 saturday--a lot of progress already. this is after 60 truckloads of first have been taken off the property.



oh, and we also accidentally obliterated the neighbors mailbox....
