Note to self: When visiting an uneven, muddy, recently excavated lot - don't wear flip flops.
Additional Note: Don't wear flip flops with a 2" wedge heel. You
will fall.
Yeah. The man wanted to see the lot up close. I was game. After all... they had cleared and started digging out the basement.

OMG - Dirt! Yay! |
So we make our way around the side of the lot, and start cutting through the woods in the back. I stepped wrong and BLAM! I went down like a sack of potatoes.. with gravy. I've never been a graceful one, but this was embarrassing.
I had a bruise for about a month. And scraped my face on a tree. "Hello tree, pardon me!"

The lot from the side. |
It was worth it. We had a blast walking around the space. I loved imagining where our house would fit in all the mud. "This will be our bedroom. Here's where I'll store all my Holiday decor."

I was just shocked by what a difference having the land cleared and dug out made. It got really REAL really quick. There were lots of "Oh my.. it's so massive.. like.. this is our house."

I think the craziest part was seeing where the ground was dug out for the basement. We'll have a walkout basement, but it just seemed so crazy to have this wall-O-dirt just hanging out on the lot.

Attempt at a selfie.. yay dirt pile! |
The ground slopes enough where it can easily support a walk-out.... but I'm hoping they'll truck in some more dirt to level out the front yard and mellow the slope a bit. Still, I'm so excited to have the extra space and room to grow if we choose.
Meet our mud pit! Muddy since March 7, 2015.
