Clearing & grading nearly complete.

The crew has done tremendous work over the past couple of days, and the lot is looking really good.  Bob and Craig managed to save three oaks along the front of the property, along with the previously-designated pines.  It was really exciting to walk the property this afternoon, pacing off where the front & rear of the house will (approximately) be, and so on.

Look at the "before" pics above, and then this one - these are the oaks that were saved!

 The slender pine at the foot of the dirt mound is going to be removed; it is too close to the driveway route.

 Oaks again!

 And the oaks.  Can you tell that we're excited that they were saved??!
