A New Casa in 2017 - Week One

It has begun!  We came back from Semana Santa break and saw that a back hoe had been working on our lot.  Exciting stuff and glad to see our deposit money at work.  We removed a large tree on the lot a few months ago and it brought a bunch of natural light and totally changed the feel of the property.  Excavation has been done back to a point to accommodate the large retaining wall for the lower levels as well as footing locations.  In the photo, the height of the existing cut will be the floor level of our family living level.  This level will be just above the building to the right.  Better learn how to climb stairs again.
