Dig In!

This is the day we have been waiting for these many months of planning, working, and

dreaming. Most of the morning was taken up with careful measuring, marking with     

orange paint. and pounding in numerous stakes. About 11AM the first scoop of dirt     

was removed (see below). We were afraid that much of dirt would be fill, brought in   

from other excavations, but instead only the top one-foot was fill and the rest was        

virgin soil of hard-packed sand and clay. The digging will continue tomorrow. 

            

The first dirt is dug!

Things are starting to take shape.

Living dangerously!
