Dan M. said the crew got to our site later in the day on Monday which seems a bit strange since we were there around 3:00. But, today is the day! At lunch time we made a bee line to Strasburg and this time we found lots of activity! The narrow path (our future driveway!) was widened and two large piles of stone were laid down to provide a more solid foundation for the heavy equipment. The top soil had already been scraped off and was piled high in a big mound out of the way. A front end loader was busy scooping out dirt and distributing it to various parts of the property. We could actually see the beginning of the basement! A backhoe was digging out more of the driveway and doing some grading. We later realized this was to create access for the flatbed trucks that would be delivering the Superior walls for the foundation. To the untrained eye (mine) it look an awful lot like two grown men playing with their Tonka toys in the dirt!
Our project manager, Ken, was on site so we had the opportunity to introduce ourselves and talk to him about the plans for the rest of the week. We were mesmerized watching the process unfold. Finally, it was beginning to seem real. As much as we wanted to stay and keep watching, it was time to go back to work. We all but bounced back to the car, grinning from ear to ear! What a rush!
