Calibration problem in first layers

Hi, all. Just completed my build and have printed a couple of test items.

The problem I seem to be having is that the first 3 or 4 layers are loose, as if the extruder is too high. Then subsequent layers tighten up. I have a sense that the calibration is not quite right, but I'm not sure exactly what to do about it. I've attached a pic.

Thanks in advance for any advice--

-Steve

I've fixed this particular problem. There still seems to be a tiny bit of offset in the front to back direction between the first few and subsequent layers, but I think it's a matter of correct tension on the Y belt.
