Excavator sitting where the house will eventually be.
Chipped up scrap from around house area.
Some rocks moved out of the way.
Groundbreaking!!!!
Found another rock.
A little snow won't stop the digging.
Starting to look like a hole for the basement.
Bummer, hit some ledge. This could be a problem.
The Machine-vs-Ledge Battle begins.
Machine off to a good start.
Ledge comes back strong.
...it is a good fight...
...but in the end, machine/Fernando wins.
Now, what to do with all of these rocks?
...Schmitty will get rid of them.
Digging for basement almost complete, depite being covered in snow.
One of the stacks of wood from the trees cut down so far
