Et voila!

How much simpler it would have been to use the digger from the start! Check this out! The house is gone! Left is the ground! And good news is that the mountain was quite shallow, so we won't have blow so much away.

Met with Dynamite Krister and Digger Kenneth this morning and measured and calculated. I'm becoming a real pro and am thinking of changing profession. How does Miss Leach, building engineer sound haha!

Kotten (The pine cone) also showed his face. I had complained that he'd left too many branches and twigs laying about (he cut down 18 trees), so he arrived with his chain saw and made the place a little tidier! Actually, felt quite silly asking him about cleaning up, since the place looks like the building site it is, but the leftover branches were scattered allover the area where we won't build, so it actually made a little difference!

I've added a 'before' picture at the bottom, to compare with the scraped area now!
