On April 29, there was still a bit of snow on the property. Our gravel driveway is in the foreground and "the dirt pile" is right in the center of the lot
By Memorial Day the snow is gone. We have some dead brush to clear so burn it on the pile to help thaw out any frozen mud that may be hiding there
On June 3, the pile is moved and excavation begins.
Pile removal and excavation from a different angle. This is facing south with the driveway in the background
