Day 6 (continued) -- The Big Dig, Los Altos Edition

Excavation will take about a week or so, assuming the good weather continues. We've been very fortunate so far with weather. Knock on wood! Today the concrete guys were sticking little sticks in the ground and doing stuff with neon-colored string. I think this is laying out the footprint of where they will excavate. Sort of seems like an archaeological dig underway. Lots of dudes crouching low to the ground, holding up string and little doo-hickey devices (that I think have something to do with calibrating distance). I hope they know what they are doing!

The lot looks pretty large all naked and all. It's just over 20k sq. ft. so just past the half acre mark. And while that isn't big by some regional standards, in Los Altos it's pretty darn substantial. I need room for all my chickens to roam!
