House Site Dug!

With the excavation done, we were ready to prepare for the foundation! A backhoe, a laser level, and an evening are all it took to dig up the new house site. In future posts this may become more clear, but to create the crawl space for the foundation, we dug down 24 inches. So it's ok if it looks like we are in a hole...because we are! The site dug is a bit bigger than the foundation, 40' x 64', to allow room for working.

Ben chose to take the role of photographer for the event. Little Miss decided she didn't want to be left out and tried to join Mommy, but didn't maneuver the dirt very well and rolled in (literally!)...precious moments!
