Day 1: Sept. 5, 2007

On the first day, Gary and Jimmy dug the footer for the garage. Bud originally thought he might want a six-car garage, but when the architect drew up our plans, Bud agreed to drop to a four-car. Before we started construction, he went back up to five. That's what we're getting.

While the backhoe was on the property, Jimmy removed a few stumps of trees that Bud had cut down in preparation for the building to begin. (We plan to replant a tree for each one we had to remove.)

With help from Bud, Gary and Jimmy also put rebar in the footer hole, tied it to some stakes and built forms to retain the concrete that was to arrive the next day.
