And so it begins. Yesterday was a cold and rainy day in Mason but the contractor was out on site breaking ground. As exciting as we thought this day would be it's really just a big hole in the ground - and the rain made it such that we couldn't get near the site without our mud boots. The weatherman is calling for snow over the weekend. A little concerned about having a wet subgrade when they place the footers.
Here are a few photos from my visit this morning - a nice sunny day! Hoping the sun and wind help dry out the soil.

Our PM said that we would not have a sump pump due to the lot grading and the ability to daylight the perimeter drains. Looking at the depth and the grades I don't think that is going to be possible. We'll have to revisit the sump pump issue when the footers are in. We plan on finishing our basement and we don't want a sump pit in an awkward location - if one is indeed necessary.
