Pedro has his birthday party and that takes priority. Cupcakes, pizza and giant inflatables. Regardless the excavator was on site digging away. Not much to do anyway. Just dig. With all the excitement of building a house and a birthday party I almost forgot that I had to meet with a client for their kitchen remodel. I still have to pay the bills.
Throughout building my own house I have come to sympathize with my clients. I see and understand their pain, frustration and enjoyment in undertaking a big project. I am sensitive to their budget and time yet I don't want that to affect their design decisions. There is always a way to make a design more efficient. If you want to buy expensive finishes then that is another topic but lots of money can be saved on the design.
The excavation is to the required depth along the north and west walls.
