excited. The first day was only a half day of work and the graders accomplished more than expected. They dug up several old tree stumps, moved quite a few rocks and pushed dirt around to smooth a nice path for moving materials.
Within such a short time, the property started to look and feel so different. The path and parking pad made a much more inviting and easy way to access to the house site.
By the end of the second day, the house site was starting to take form. We enjoyed a little picnic there.
Day 3 of grading, 
they dug the pad a few feet deeper, which went well. Didn't hit any huge boulders or have any other problems, which meant that we could have quite a bit of useable space in the basement. We'd left that plan a bit undecided, depending on how the grading went. So now though it was good news, it meant we had to have the plan altered by the engineer. It only meant minor changes, but we know that doesn't necesarily mean it will be done quick.

Supposedly, the engineer is working on it and it will be done soon. We can go ahead and continue grading on Monday, May 5. Should only take a few more days to finish the footings and dig the trenches for utilities.
