Day 12: The Basement Excavation Begins!

Friday

Today the excavation for the basement began. They used a front end loader to cut into the side of our hill to form a notch in which the basement will reside. Today the rough cut was made to get most of the dirt out. We hit hard clay fairly quickly. We used the clay to build up the back yard so that we have a flat area behind our house instead of a slope. It's exciting to see dirt move and the house footprint in real life.
