Excavating

The excavation process began on July 28. We were able to pile up quite a bit of dirt on the property but they still took 11 or 12 truck loads of dirt away.
 The digging begins. Payton was pretty excited to see he big machine at work.
 More digging. Our yard will never look the same.
 Loading one of the trucks.
 We had to block off the alley for a good part of the day. I hope our neighbors forgive us.
 We got quite a lot of rain on the second day. I had to rent a sump pump to get rid of the water.
 The trenching is mostly done. Next stage will be to get the footings in place.
We had to locate the water supply which ran right under the garage. The worker is in the hole trying to find it.
