Digging the foundations

Things are really moving quickly now and after 2 and a half days the foundations are fully excavated. Luckily the digger didn't hit any bedrock or massive boulders as then we would have needed a rock breaker or even dynamite and that can easily double the excavation costs. As the house will be on a slope the foundations have to be stepped down. When built the front of the house will be on two levels but the back of the house will have three levels including the walkout basement.
