While I (Jyll) was in Nashville at a conference this week, the landscape of the property changed dramatically! On Monday and Tuesday (May 18-19), the basement was dug as well as the areas required by the garage for footers.

John shared pictures via Dropbox and walked me through them. Enjoy the slideshow!

Today John and I will be laying out the lot lines for the house. This is the first “real” thing to get us closer to the Big Dig. Right now, excavation is scheduled to begin the week of May 11, 2009.

Weather is forecasted to be 85-deg F and sunny. Right now there is a light breeze blowing and I hope it keeps up throughout the afternoon.

We’ll add some pictures later on this evening.
