The sewer was also trenched and installed through the site......not the most glamorous but still great stuff...
The site is getting very tight for space with two tractors and the eight to ten foot swath around the perimeter taken up by the top soil. There isn't much space for the drawing table and crew to drop their things and take a break except under one of oak trees, a space forbidden by the city for occupancy during construction.
Below is a sample from the time lapse camera mentioned in an earlier post. I will likely either put up another camera or find a better location as the house starts to go vertical.
The basement is in the rear left and the master bedroom pad is in the lower left third of the view. The garage pad/foundation is not visible in the time lapse. Note the blue wheelbarrow being filled and emptied with cleaned bricks.

There's a reason to save existing trees and protect their roots from heavy machinery during the constuction process. Not only does the tree have a better chance of surviving the stress of construction, the workers have a great place to relax and recharge!
Elizabeth,
I spoke to the City Aborist this morning and got the OK for the worker's use of the space for shade. We understand about keepout area for heavy equipment, chemicals, and trenching.
