The EXCAVATION

And the excavation has begun!  We stopped by this morning, tried to look like we knew what was going on---what we were looking at, but we didn't have a clue. 

They dug the holes deep and wide and who knows why...the basement is actually a 'walk out' so I'm a little confused.  Anyone???

We talked to the digger machine guy...very nice...he knew we were clueless.

So basically what we have is a BIG PILE of dirt and some holes in the ground....

Views below are from the street above ours...at least the workers all have a great view!
