Construction - Day 2

Day 2 - Excavation
The digging crew came back out today to finish digging for the pool. They got a late start on Day 1 so they spent today finishing up. The pool area looks much bigger than I thought. It's funny how a spray painted outline on the grass looks so much smaller. We talked to a few neighbors today; they have been very supportive of the mess we've made in the neighborhood (well most of them)! Here are some pictures of today's progress.

Construction - Day 1

Day 1: Excavation
So, the construction on our backyard started on April 14. They'll be digging for the pool first and get that pretty close to done before they even start on the patio. Today was a little difficult. Our yard is a mess - a lot more of a mess than I ever could have imagined. I didn't even consider that our front yard would be affected, but seeing that the Bobcats have to go through our front yard to empty the dirt they dig from the back, I guess it makes sense. But it sure is hard to see. Here is a picture of the progress made on Day 1 of construction.


Now, here is a picture that shows what our front yard looks like. :(


Can you believe how deep these track marks are?? They're supposed to re-sod the grass later on. Let's hope so!
