The Cut is Completed

Exactly 10 months to the day since we began we have completed the cut for the first building.  We still have to dig down for the building footers but the bulk overburden is removed, including the rock we had to break through with a jackhammer.

In the background can be seen the KX-91 excavator that did most of the digging.
