Breaking Ground
March 24th, 2006
Welcome to my home building diary. Follow along as we progress from a vacant lot to a finished small house.
My property is a quarter-acre in the tiny town of Onancock on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. It was unique in that the carnival grounds are my next door neighbor … but the carnival is going to be sold to make room for more homes. It will still be a nice neighorhood.
We staked out the lot and put up batter boards on March 16. Groundbreaking was March 20. No, there was not a ceremony. We finished digging most of the footers (by hand) on March 23.
