Week 1, Day 1 - Excavation

Day 1 came a day early for us, with an early morning phone call from the Site Supervisor (SS) informing us that the guys were there ready to work.

The surveyor was there placing pegs and marking the land in the morning, then suddenly we could hear machinery.

You're probably wondering why we could "hear" machinery!  We are currently living only a couple of doors down which is great because we get the chance to have a quick peek to see what's happening!

Here are a few shots from early in the day when the excavators first started the cut....

And some of the block after the cut and fill had been completed...
