The Building Begins

Today at about 9:00 a.m. the building pad was ready to go!

The backhoe was positioned and the first footers were dug.

As the footer was being dug one of the workmen would make sure the depth was correct by using the white measuring pole with laser guided accuracy. (notice the trust between the backhoe operator and the guy measuring depth - they seemed to work at ease with only inches between them)

As they moved along another workman comes right behind to test the soil compaction. Obviously we want this foundation on solid ground.
