They started clearing the land on Monday. There have been a few bumps, but nothing major. We've had to shift the house around a little, they found a lot of rock - which thankfully can be broken up by the equipment and doesn't require dynamite...at least so far, and they took out the one tree I didn't want to lose. But other than that they are making progress!
This was the one tree that I did NOT want taken out...but, the slope of the land is greater than they expected and it was this tree or spend up to an extra $20,000 for fill dirt...so, they took the tree!
Kalee and Ally (who is our builders daughter) played while the guys supervised the clearing.
Rocks everywhere! They dug out a test hole and went down about 6 ft and found rock, rock and more rock! Hopefully they will find a little more dirt, so that we don't have to truck it in (and pay for it!!!)

lookin' good!
The joys of building in Georgia!! Hopefully they will find dirt and that was the only rock patch they find.
Well, there is a plus to all the rocks...you shouldn't have to bring in any for landscaping:)
