We finally broke ground! Monday at about 9:15 EST
Dave K and Bob ? came out to Frogtown with a big yellow digger.
When I was a kid it was called a “steam shovel” although they hadn’t been steam powered for many decades.
any way they scooped up the sand and deposited it in 5 or 6 big piles around the house.
Dave pilot’d the digger – caterpillar treads and hydraulic arm with bucket. He was VERY good – used it his hand.
Bob stood in hole with stick. it had a gizzmo that beeped when it was same height as laser on tripod
I helped Louie putting a couple of stakes in ground. He used spray paint on ground to mark the walls
also had to knock down a couple small trees
love
Dave & Julie
