They have started working on the building pad

As grading continues and we still fight the weather a bit, they have now started cutting out the flat building pad that the house will eventually sit on.

 And at the bottom of the hill they keep compacting the first bench to make sure that nothing can move down the hill over time. We had some rain earlier today and there is some more in the forecast for tonight so that will probably slow us down a bit. According to the crew on site they hope to be done with grading by mid May so that the foundation can start then.
