I have been doing my best to stay cool about this whole house building thing, but unexpectedly my eyes welled up a bit when the shovel hit the ground for the first time. My focus was on taking photos then getting out of there so I could bring Super-K to daycare and work for a couple of hours in my studio. Watching the lush green grass and alfalfa so swiftly turned into brown piles of soil left me with a little lump in my throat for the rest of the day. Tilt had his ants-in-his-pants energy from the time he got out of bed (sometime before 6 AM). He mowed some lawn around the kiln shed to put his energy somewhere. Ed was there for the show too, it is always fun to watch a good digger! Not a move was wasted. The work was completed so swiftly and efficiently that less than a day we are ready for the next step: concrete walls. Yippeee more mighty machines!
