After 4 days of clearing the building site of trees and brush and one day of the surveyor coming to "peg the house" on the lot, it was time to downing the "big trees" on the lot that and to start digging.
So out came the big earth moving equipment -- and so the digging began. On the site was the digger and assistant as well as Rob and Ed Lucchetta going over the last minute details with them. Over the day - the trees were knocked down - the basement was 2/3 dug out - and the water was connected and inspected by the City.
While the backhoe was digging up the foundation Kevin, John (Rosanne's brother-in-law) and Eric and Ryan were tasked to cutting up the big trees. With two chain saws going and a full days work 4 large trees - with diameters between 40 - 60 cm - were cut up and delivered to their destination.
Tomorrow the basement will be completely dug out - the stumps will be removed from the property - and the lot site will be ready for the next step in the building process - pouring the concrete. To be honest things keep moving along. It is hard to believe that we obtained a building permit less than a week ago and we already will be prepared to pour the basement a week later. To be honest it is to do the planning and hard work of Rob and Ed. Thanks guys!!
