Finally! Now that it seems like the rain has stopped, we have begun grading. They have started digging out the "bench" that the house will sit on. There is still a fair amount of moisture in the soil, but with the warmer and drier weather, the plan is to open everything up and then wait for the moisture to evaporate so they can compact the soil to support the slab foundation.
It feels fantastic to be able to get a sense for how the house will sit on the lot and how it will be oriented. We are super excited to see activity on the lot - it seems like it was ages ago that we met with our architect and started sketching the house on a piece of paper. We hope to be able to update the blog weekly from now on.
