Today was day 1 ... what is not shown in this video is all the work we had to do to make room in my flowerbeds (project from 2 years ago) to put the displaced earth. I'm too tired to type much, hopefully will be able to say more with tomorrow's progress time-lapse video (taken on GoPro HD camera with 1 picture every 30 seconds. Tomorrow will be more sod removal along with more planning and getting the electrician out to pull in a sub-panel to the basement and run a circuit outside.
