Excavation

Mike and "Bobcat" Tom showed up this morning and the foundation excavation began. I mentioned to Mike that Bob (landscaping) would like to keep all the good dirt. Tom is piling it up along the fence.

That's Mike and Morgan (next door neighbor) conversing while Tom moves earth and piles it along Morgan's fence.

I noted to Mike the proliferous sprouting of new utility flags in the front yard yesterday. Mike said he noticed that as well, but was not sure why. It turned out not to be a harbinger of any activity today, but they look very festive in the front yard.

Tom did not stay long. Gone by 1:30 pm. That seems to be it for the week. This morning, Mike confirmed he expects the foundation people will be here next week.
The back yard will look better in the future.
