Digging the Basement!

We had our typical Sunday visit out to the lot today.  Brian had a meeting with a guy about Solar PV/Solar Hot Water and a meeting with the developer to find out if he'll even let us do Solar PV, so Sara and I met him out there around 4:00 this afternoon to check things out.  Brian said they were actually on site today digging!  It looks like the digging for the basement is either done or very close to being done.  Our builder said they will start laying block this week, probably either Tuesday or Wednesday (I hope it doesn't rain!).  Here are some pictures we took today of the current state of the lot.

This picture is looking down into the basement from where the garage will be.

And here are Sara and Daddy on the huge pile of dirt.

And Sara always has to check out whatever large equipment is on site that day...

She loves all the trees on the property.  This one is her favorite.  She calls it her "carousel".

We spent some time today walking down by the creek that is on our property.  It is so pretty and peaceful out there - we are so excited to move to our new home!

That's all for today!  Hopefully this week I'll have some more pictures of the basement with block in it :-)  Have a great week everyone!
