Charles has still been contemplating the layout of the house, trying to get it exactly right, but he's hoping to pour the foundation this week.

Breaking Ground
On May 21st, we finally broke ground on the house! Very exciting. Charles dug out the foundation with a backhoe. He encountered a lot of ledge (schist and bluestone) that required a lot more drilling and blasting with shims and wedges than expected. Our rock wall is now a lot larger than it was before.
