Prep work

Labor day, 2010
Before the guys with the excavator showed up to start work, we needed to take out all the shrubbery from the front.  Some of it I was glad to get rid of, some of it will be missed.  The fun part was when we stirred up an underground bee's nest below the rhododendron.  Nobody got stung, but we kept far away from that part of the yard for a while.

With all the shrubs removed, it was suddenly obvious that some of the front yard was sloping toward the house.  No wonder that side of the basement wall gets damp.  This will need to be regraded!
