Well today starts a milestone for me! Today is the day that official site works have started for our new house. Considering this day has taken 10 years to finally come, my excitement can't be contained and the smile can not be wiped from my face.
Here is a photo of the very first dig!!!!

We had to get a big excavator in with a ripper and a rock breaker. They have to dig approximately 300 metres from our existing home to the new house site. It is tough limestone so slow going. This is so we can have telephone and electricity at the new site.
So just wanted to share my happiness with you all. I will start my own thread soon so if you want to follow our build you are most welcome.
PS Hope the photo works
