Groundbreaking

Today was the ceremonial groundbreaking of the '09 remodel. Check out the OSHA-approved Thomas the Train hardhat, er, bike helmet, er, trike helmet. Here's the first dig.

Then my crew showed up with the excavator. We agreed to wear orange today, for safety, of course. I moved rocks manually because I don't need machines to do heavy lifting.

A ramp up from the street to our yard.

Then we got goin' with ripping stuff up. I got to drive for a while.


And...pooped.
