Excavator arrived this morning. Addition is going to be 24' x 28', 14' high walls, the original shop is 20' wide, so the extra 4' will extend out to the right. Slab will be 36' x 28', as we will eventually build a piece 12' wide off the the side like the shop has now. He started by leveling off the area beside the old shop, always been a problem with leaf buildup and water drainage, we will ave a door out to this area to store wood. Sorry for the size, that's how my phone took them.

Probably will use some tires for a retaining wall to the right of the shop.
Got 9 tons of gravel spread and compacted yesterday. I'll get some pics this evening.
