Yesterday evening there was a small amount of digger juggling. One went away a bigger one brought in.

   

Today excavation on the actual house started    Big Grin .
Wow that a big hole! It’s got to go a lot deeper yet !

The house is being built on a concrete raft instead of foundations isn't it SC? One hell of a lot of ready-mix concrete to come soon I would imagine. Rolleyes
Its really good that you are keeping a photographic record for posterity. Cool

Yeah concrete raft. Lots of metal work as well as concrete. Just to keep it interesting and more expensive  Rolleyes .
A lot more gravel first!

Looking at what has been dug out you have a lot of peat there, so if you need to clear some space, just bring it down here, I have room for it

I may have asked this before so apologies if I have. Huh Does that mountain you are going to be looking out onto have a name?

We had a little delivery today. It was very exciting.

                     

The annoying part is 95% of this stuff will never be seen.
