i've been very hesitant to mention possibilities of construction for fear that it would keep getting delayed. we have lived through construction before and it is always slower and more complicated than i expect-so when the guys came with their bulldozer this morning at 7:45am i was very excited. last night when we looked at the weather we found that the chance of rain was 70%-so i was unsure if the monday start would actually happen. danny (the bulldozer driver) was ready to go. kenny (the plumber) said he needed to run to the store to get the right fittings for the gas and water pipe reconstruction. i am very accustomed to the last minute trips to home depot but i was kind of expecting he would have these with him (when am i going to learn to expect as many delays as possible?)
but, it is now 11:15 am and danny is back with hopefully the right parts to reroute our lines into the front of the house.
here is the progress so far...
we should have plenty of dirt for our raised garden beds :)
see that dinky gray pipe? that is what has caused some problems.
lots of roots
trench for footings and walls
taking out the cedar tree stump
extended area for this years raised beds-soon to be filled in with all the dirt from excavation process
