Week 0: 26 June

This was the state of the property before the digging began.

View from the left: To give you some context, our property is roughly 20 meters wide by 100 meters long. When looking at the photo below, our property ends just to the left of the gravel driveway (you can see the grey electric boxes on the property line. The trees on the left belong to our neighbor. The bagr (excavator) is on our property and on the right, those very large piles of dirt you see belong to our other neighbor. The concrete box you see in the middle of the photo (in front of the cherry tree) is our well. At the back of the property, you can see our orchard. We have apple, pear, plum, peach, apricot and jeřab (fruit tree native to Czech Republic) trees.

View from the right: The yellow container you see in the foreground is actually our neighbor’s but it is sitting slightly on our property for now.
