Three days of digging

The digging started on Friday, then continued a half day on Saturday, and began again at 7 am. Here's the future shallow end of our pool, the outline painted in orange. Then blue the next day.

Here's the future deep end, and the tree stump was left on purpose to make it easier to get the stump out. It's not budging yet.
This was after the digging began on Friday.
This was where our middle deck used to be. If we were to step out the back door now, we'd fall a few feet down.
You can see (above) where they sawed the deck off right by our back door.
Here's what it looks like today at the shallow end.
Here's the deep end where it's solid rock. The tree stump is getting whittled down more.

What other kinds of large machinery will you be having in the back yard? I love seeing the process. I hope that it continues to go so fast. You know the days are heating up around here. You won't have to worry about keeping cool for much longer.

I hope it's done by the time I go and visit this summer. When is the due date?

I can't believe you have all that going on in your yard! It seems like you were deciding between designs so recently!
