This Saturday we visited the site only to see workman finishing up the foundation supports. Here is what the foundation supports look like as of this morning.

However, the main reason for our visit was to start planting trees. We planted four trees, three Allegheny Serviceberries and one Eastern Redbud. We are planting the small trees to avoid needing to dig out too much of the ground, impacting the surrounding trees. But also because they are more likely to thrive if planted when still small. Here is one of our new trees.

Of course, while I was there, I took the obligatory view of the river. This photo was taken from atop the pile of dirt that was excavated for the foundation. This is the approximate view expected from our new living room.

Finally, I have the last few days of construction camera video stitched together showing the process of putting in the supports for the foundation. This video was taken from the construction camera’s new location, which is not blocked by piles of dirt.
