Basement...Day 1

On May 5th we started digging the basement for the house.  Dean Bitner arrived bright and early with hyis backhoe to start digging away.  He also took out all the stumps from the tons of trees that we have taken down over then last couple weeks.  Things went pretty good and the pictures say more than I ever could.
That is a lot of stumps!

The kids were so excited to see the equipment working.

Stumps piling up.

Wow!

They see to be everywhere.

And someof them were huge.
