Animation of House

I've been taking photos during the lot's building, and have pasted them all together to make an animation of the lot and house forming.  Here's what it looks like so far, as of late February 2013.

Rocks

We can start to see the area where the excavator dug out for the foundation footer stem walls, leaving a large pile of rocks.  Further to the right, we can see where they cut into the neighbor's driveway to make way for our retaining wall where out driveway will go.  The neighbor's driveway was actually on our lot by a few feet, so the workers cut some of their driveway.

View of Lot Before Breaking Ground

Here's a view of the lot before we broke ground.  The double-cactus, grand and impressive, was a prominent feature of the lot. It was beginning to look diseased, and quite frankly would have been in the way of most of the construction. So, unfortunately, we had to take it down.  This photo will be emblazon its grandeur forever.
