It has begun...

September 22nd, the digging begins! Tom the excavator and his sidekick Sadie Rose, his Boston Terrier, begin digging the crawl space for the house at 11:30 a.m. It pours down rain off and on all day.

Rod arrives home from work at 5:30 p.m., Tom and Sadie Rose finish digging at 7:15.

This is it! The hole for the foundation for the house and breezeway.  The attached garage will be built off the breezeway, sort of in the bottom right of this picture..

7:00 a.m September 23rd.

You can sort of see a corner where the breezeway will be and the orange paint marking the garage.

Harley is waiting for me to play.  He seems to think this is a playing arena! He runs full speed around the rim to the side that isn't quite so high, then down into the hole. Then he runs around and around in a circle inside the hole, Socks the cat joins him sometimes, but she just sits in the middle and watches Harley running pell mell..so funny!  Harley would make a great agility dog, he loves to run and jump..

10:00 p.m. September 23rd, Tom and Sadie Rose didn't come back today, I suppose they will tomorrow. Chris Fuller our contractor hopes to start laying the foundation on Monday or Tuesday.
