Building start - Breaking ground

Time to start.
The house ceremony is planned for first of November, but that doesn't stop the newly arrived workers to start digging. The soild was to hard to dig by hand, so the builder ordered in a digger. Here is a collection of pictures from the first digging day.

There will be many holes. 25 platforms will be used to hold up the house.
Some holes will have more than one platform.
