The excavator was here today.
After waiting for the building permit to show up for a really, really long time, 14 months and 5 days after we signed our contract something finally happened.
And this morning, we didn’t even think it would.
It was a beautiful, warm day yesterday, so when we woke up and everything was full of snow we really couldn’t believe the excavator would even start today.

Land this morning, covered in snow.

But they did show up at around noon and started working!
Here are some pictures:

The kids loved it.

Ryan was pretty amazed.
