Rock excavation

After the long Christmas and New Years break, the excavator machine came in and started to dig quite a bit of sandstone out of the ground to match the pitch and slope of the site to the house design. As the main part of our old house was build right on top of sandstone foundation, the rock excavation is expected to take a good few days even with the huge driller, digger, and huge circular saw.

Rock excavation cost is separate to our build tender, but it was within our expectation so there was not too much of a big surprise.
