In the hole....

Here we are! Its all started! The house is empty and all ripped up. The boys are on cloud nine. Excavators are serious fun!

Suddenly we were in over our heads. There is really NO going back now. I didn't know how intense it would be to sort of make that leap of faith and let it all start.

 First the siding came off and we saw the first evidence of shoddy craftsmanship.
 See that gap between the house and the window? Its not supposed to be there. A bit of a miss on the part of whomever wrapped our house before we bought it.

 More errors in wrapping. This guy must have been horrible at christmas gifts.
 Then we had a garage....
And then we didn't. Bye bye garage.

 Oh boy! Diggers and excavators! The boys were ecstatic.
 Time to dig a basement!




 Look, its a swimming pool. Or, you know, a basement.
 Taking a look inside.

 Here's the garage side all excavated.
 And the most fun, the giant piles of dirt!
 Digging, digging, digging.


 Collin just couldn't resist. Up, up and away to the top of the hill.
So much fun in the adventures of house building! 
Next week, concrete!
