Yesterday's leveling of the slab area
Excavation of the first two thirds of the foundation area.
Quite a bit of material was removed and used to fill in a large depression in the back yard from previous sand quarrying.

Excavation Day One
Yesterday I received the Zoning Permit allowing me to build the workshop, and last night a friend of my nephew fired up my brother-in-law's excavator and started stripping the topsoil and leveling where the slab will be. In less than 3 hours he had things pretty well leveled out. Today we started digging for the footings and frost walls. The top of the walls to the bottom of the footings is 76", with the footings and 4' of the wall below grade and the last 20" above grade to protect the sills and bottoms of the timbers.
