Digging out the Monument & Pouring Walls

There was a large crew working at the house site today.  They were placing cement forms for the basement walls and actually filling them with cement.  I didn't get pictures from up top, but will stop by the site in the morning and check it out. 

Alyssa and I worked from below digging out the monument from all the weed overgrowth ... it is a very slow process that I have now decided to abort in favor of a weed wacker and heavy duty weed killer.  After talking to our builder, we decided to start with that and then they will scrap the top layer off and backfill for the landscaping later.
