A Bulldozer CAN Make You Happy

I don’t feel the least bit silly for stopping my car in the middle of the street and breaking out in applause. You see, we just got back from our lot and this is what we saw:

and this. . .

Previously, there was nothing but weeds and overgrown grasses. Most of that is now gone. When we go back tonight, I’ll get Mr. BBM to take some good pictures. The bulldozer guy was looking at me like I was insane, and I didn’t want to distract him from his job by taking a close-up. This is my basement we’re talking about, after all.

After I took these, we drove up the street from the other end and the hole looks much more impressive from that side. By the end of this week, the hole should be completely done. That seems to be about how long it took the one across the street.

If you look closely in the first picture, you’ll notice the park that’s just a short walk down a path behind us. No more houses will ever go in behind us. I’d write more, but I need to go jump up and down (Don’t worry-on one leg).
