we broke ground for the house on friday evening. we cut into the side of the mountain, hauled off dozens and dozens of truckloads of dirt, dug the hole for the basement and prepped the area for the footings.
here are some pictures of the progress!

Yay for progress!!!
ReplyDeleteThose fall colors are beautiful! And right in your backyard too! FUN!
Were you serious about the neighbors mailbox? ouch!
unfortunetly for our neighbors, yes!
Deletethe mailbox was actually a few inches on our property line, and my husband was going to help the neighbor rebuild a new one further on his property, but this just sped things up a bit!
I can't believe the size of those boulders!
ReplyDeleteha! ha! i can't get used to it either! people in utah use boulders a LOT as retaining walls. it was so odd to me when we first moved here....i was like "why does everybody have those huge rocks in their yards?".
Deletewe are going to forgo the huge boulders and build our retaining walls out of smaller stones that will be cemented together.
