Yes, they've broken ground on the new house. What you can see here is the bobcat they've been using to dig into the ground where the concrete footers will be. The little piles of dirt are around the holes they've already dug and this was about halfway through.
The big giant mound of dirt to the right of the photo is the results of the 'scraping' they did to even out the land. Not sure where they're going to put all that dirt when they're done. I have suggestions for them if they need ideas. :)
Today the county is expected to show up to approve the holes for the footings. Next week our builder (Brian) expects to be pouring the cement and starting on the brick curtain (the brick walls that form the outside of the foundation).
