We have half a ... DRIVEWAY!




The driveway was started yesterday by John Lamont Contracting. We were actually expecting them to start to today but they finished another job early so they got stuck straight in yesterday afternoon. I popped out during my lunch break today to get some pics. Its amazing how much dirt those machines can move, I'm afraid the green machine was somewhat put to shame!

After work, Chris and I both went out for another nosey. The progress was quite amazing, those operators can sure shift some dirt!

Getting a bit arty farty

What in the hang is going on here? scratch... scratch...

Now that's one big hole

Yip, a big hole alright!

Hellooooo over there!

Amazing property

More photos of our wonderful piece of land

That's a lot of dirt!

And just so it doesn't feel too left out... the Green Machine!
