House addition, part 1- EXCAVATION

We decided to start preparing the yard for our new addition.  Our kids are getting too big, and we are starting to feel pretty crowded all upstairs, so we drew up some plans for a new master suite in the side yard.  The first thing we needed to do was take down the fence and get rid of the trampoline.


 As we were removing the mat from the frame we discovered h.u.n.d.r.e.d.s of black widow spiders.  It was pretty scary and we were feeling a little negligent sending our kids out to jump with the poisonous arachnids every day. 
Just a few of the egg sacs surrounding the frame
