Digging the Foundation

Jacob and Brian measured out the border of the house and sprayed with orange paint. It was exciting to see where the house will be and its shape. Then they had to move a bunch of dirt around to try to make the ground level.

Corner of garage


Back corner of house and breakfast nook.

Moving Dirt


Compacting the dirt

Digging the footing of the house. Jacob used a laser level to get the ground exactly the same depth, but had to hand dig most of the outside border of the house where the footing will go...very tedious work.
