The Build - Day 1 Excavation




Surprising picture maybe?  Why is this machine excavating right here?  Well, we're building a house!  It was amazing how fast a hole could be dug!  It brought new meaning to the backyard shovel escapades of my youth. 


To start, we had to dig down deep enough to reach the water and sewer hookup.  We then attached these lovely pipes to bring it to our house.  The blue pipe is water.  The green is sewer.  The excavator told me to remember him down in the hole attaching pipe once the house is done and I'm using the facilities. 


Here the hole is almost completely dug. There is a four feet over-dig all around the house to make the wall installation easier. 




The island shows where the the future garage will be.  Dig is complete.
