Week one included:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Demolition of the 2nd bedroom (tipped the scales at 3 tons at the dump)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Demolition of the front patio and rock wall (original and failing stone wall and lots of erosion with an invasive shrub)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Demolition of all road-facing dirt, rocks and debris (very large stones came out)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Digging out 300 cubic yards of dirt, rock, shale, bedrock fom beside my house (I think over 30 dump truck loads so far)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A completely brand new Redi-Rock wall that&#8217;s the first of its kind from Carrol concrete (they had a celebratory business meeting on my porch today with high fives and a lot of people in suits) that will make space for a 15&#215;40 patio system with outdoor kitchen and fire pit. this wall is built and they&#8217;re now filling it in<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>I posted a 40 minute introduction to the project on YouTube last month before we closed on the construction loan:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div
