The STAKES!

And the stakes are in! (orange sticks in photos below)
The land is ready for digging!

or so we thought....













Turns out the 'stake..er' (person who puts the stakes in?) put them in backwards so the front of the house now faces the hillside and the back of the house (closet/laundry room) faces the beautiful lake.

Yikes!

Not to worry...our builder caught the error and went out and 're-staked' everything before the digger could get his 'digging' machine off the trailer.  Whew!

Let the excavation begin!  GULP!
