This is the front of our house now...two big piles of dirt minus the excavator...We're trying to find a break in the rain to work on the footings so the inspector can come on out and check us off and then cement time.

More first weekend on the remodel/addition photos...
Scoopy-Bob is back on his trailer and the holes are dug and ready for footings...that was all going well until it started to rain like nothing else - or like Juneau...Thank goodness the rest of the weekend was beautiful and allowed us to get the tough work out of the way!
Digging out dirt from the footing area for a stim wall for the new set of stairs we are putting in...Don't I look tough!?!
As you can see Porter liked to help too! He jumped right on up to sit with me on the excavator - he didn't put on his best smile for the photo though...
I'm sledge hammering the cement into smaller chunks...Yes, I am wearing my pink Crocs...Probably not the best work shoes but they got the job done!
What a pile of cement! That isn't even all of it because we had the back of Earl's truck piled with cement as well...Earl guesstimated two and a half yards of cement - and he thought approximately 7000 lbs! Yikes!
The remodel/addition begins...
We started our remodel/addition this weekend...
Started it all off with an excavator (aka Scoopy-Bob) to help us break up the concrete out in our driveway and walkway, as well as, a small section in the garage. Also, we switched over to a bucket to help us scoop out our holes for the footings.

The photos are kind of backwards this time...so you can see what the driveway looked like before we started all of this...
Happy excavator operator.
