Beginnings of a driveway and building pad

We went up onto the property last weekend and got to see the beginnings of our driveway and building pad. Unfortunately, with the rain we’ve had this last week the central part of our property is a bit of a mud pit, but we were still able to walk around and get some pictures.

This first picture is standing next to the stump pile, from just a little bit forward of where the second picture was taken in the post below.  I’m going to try to keep taking pictures from this point as a reference as we progress.

This will be the entrance to our driveway.  They’ve started to cut the driveway lane, but this part of the driveway will require some fill to level it out.

This is looking down the main part of the driveway towards the building pad.

Here’s the house building pad.  They will be carving and leveling out an area in between those little white flags stuck in the ground.

Here’s a closer picture of that big pile of trees in the above picture.  That’s Matt standing on the pile with Gregory in the backpack.  These trees were pushed out by the heavy equipment as  they carved the driveway.

This is standing on the other side of the pile, looking up the driveway to the middle/right and up towards the stump pile (where the first picture was taken) on the left.
