A/C Pad and Grading Soil

At lunch time I saw the freshly poured air conditioning pad.

After work I went by the house again and saw the soil that they will use for leveling out the yard.

Utility Trenches

Some soil was moved today most likely to make way for plumbing and other utilities.

Snow Day and Gas Line Markers

The forecast called for 2-4 inches of snow. Being a native north Texan, I know better. We did get about a half inch of snow that quickly melted away.

At lunch, I drove the family over to the lot to see if there was any snow on the ground. There was a little but most of it had already melted into large puddles of water.

An unexpected sight was the little yellow Atmos Energy buried gas line markers that have appeared since our last visit on Saturday.

Ground Breaking (Day Photos)

Kelvin and I drove over to the lot today to take a few pictures of what we could barely see last night. The ground breaking.

Ground Breaking

We decided to go for a drive this evening just to get out of the house. Everyone has been sick for weeks and it has a lot to do with the poor air quality in our crummy apartment.

I started heading toward our new neighborhood kind of aimlessly. Kelvin got sleepy so we decided to turn around and go back home. We were pretty much already just about in our new area when my wife asked me where I was going. I said, we came this far already, we might as well drive by our lot.

To our surprise we discovered that ground has been broken. We were very excited to see this. Even Kelvin woke up excited.

It was dark but I managed to shine the brights on some of the land to get a photo. We will have to go back over during daylight hours.

It's hard to see in this picture but the sidewalk, driveway and foundation is ready to be formed.
