I feel the earth move under my feet

Well the diggers did, I just took pictures of it.
That is right ladies and gentleman, gather round and feast your eyes on this beauty.
Finally there has been some movement.
We have gone from this...


 To this...


To where we are today.


 Please, stop gasping at such a dramatic change.  (Actually the double story house in the back ground has come a long way hasn't it?)
In the latest picture you can get a good indicator of where our garage and entry way will be.
I have drawn a state of the art room by room sketch for you. And if there are any art dealers interested in this masterpiece, please join the queue as I will not be accepting offers under one million dollars.


See if you can possibly see the plans in the above image. Clearly it is not to scale, nor is it even straight, but what I am getting at is to show you the defined lines as to where the garage and entry way will be. Is it more clearer if you compare the design below which I have tilted to match the same way the house will be positioned?



Where we currently stand is all the pegs have gone down ready to set out the slab. It shows the "slab guys" where to pour it and where the walls will be etc.  If you squint hard enough you can see the pegs in some of the pictures.
Hopefully in the next couple of days we will be back with more photos of the plumbing as the pipes are now in. 

I will leave you with this fun little image.
This is what the poor builders had to remove from our land. What a wonderful array of crap. They also noticed all the dog poop as mentioned in my previous post for all those still interested in being up to date with the latest doggy doo news.


So does anyone care to share their excitement when they first saw the soil where their new house will be? Any tips you would like to pass on. One tip that I would like to offer to people is to invest in a pair of gum boots as the mud you slosh through is enough to make a pig feel like home. I will take a picture of mine next time to show you what I mean.
