And it begins!

Just a quick this morning... The surveyors will be working today to identify the building site, property lines, and wetland boundaries (there's a stream and a protected wetland area at the very back of the lot). That means we'll get to see how well dad and I did when we surveyed the property lines last summer.

Then...drum roll please...the excavators are coming first thing Monday morning! Should take about 2 days for them to scrape the top soil off and pile it up, rough grade the contour of the lot, and dig the basement and footings out. They'll also be piling up a good amount of dirt over the sidewalk that the township forced me to put in. That way the heavy equipment coming in and out (hopefully) won't damage the sidewalk. I'll be sure to post some pictures Monday night or Tuesday morning!
