Excavation day....

Received a call today from the excavation company letting me know he was going to start today. He has been holding off because it kept raining. Went to work to complete a project I was working on and got out of there by 10:30am. Packed up enough stuff to sleep in the car and drove down. Didn't make it here (I am posting from the local McDonald's Wi-Fi) till about 2:45pm. Pulled down the drive and saw the dozer. Looks like he has gone home for the day and will finish tomorrow as he stated this morning. One half of the trees are down and the sun is beating down. I have my work cut out for me! I can't believe how much timber is there. There are many 2 foot diameter Oaks with at least 60 foot of straight trunk. I was also surprised at the size of the root balls. Not much holding those big trees up. May have to get the band saw sooner than I expected. Here are a few pictures of the site now. Hope to log on tomorrow and be here when he is knocking them down.



Lots of trees to cut up.



I can get a nice timber out of that one.
