It was pretty shocking to drive by the lot one day (February 28, 2015) and see all the trees down.
 |
| Our lot - and piles and piles of trees. Sorry Mother Nature.. don't hate. |
I mean,
all the trees were just - gone! It just looked so.. disastrous? It was exciting, and I never thought I'd be so happy to see dead trees.
 |
| For scale - see the Man, and his sister and bro-in law. Checking everything out. |
Our lot seemed so huge! It's an average size for this area, to still be in city limits with access to fast internet (a must for the Man) and without a long commute into town (preferred for me).
I think one thing I was surprised by was how excited I was by seeing a bulldozer. It's like I became a 5 year old boy and was looking for Bob the Builder. It was so cool to see them up close.

This bucket was huge, I just kept thinking about how I could fit the whole family in there. Angry cats included.
|
 |
| RAWR! |
I took far too many pictures of the equipment. On another trip by, I insisted on crawling in the damn thing. I nearly ripped my jeans. I guess they aren't really made to be driven by unathletic 4'11" gals like me.
 |
I mean business!

Everyone has warned us about how long the first few steps take. However, going from trees to no trees seemed like a pretty big step. Our builder was encouraging us to make some decisions about finishes early on.. so that helped the time pass. It wasn't long before we saw more progress.
