The Big Hole in the Ground!


After two days of digging, they finished the rough basement hole. Of course, it rained for three days immediately afterwards, so they waited a few days to dig the footers so they wouldn't fill up with water. The plan was to dig and pour the footers the next week, but no one seems too concerned about the schedule yet. I'm seeing work done at the incredibly swift pace of about one day a week. I seriously went into the wrong profession. One day a week! Ha!


Well, at any rate, this pic was taken Feb. 21, before the big rains. Oh and by the way, yes, you can thank us for single-handedly putting a good dent into the worst drought ever. I'm pretty sure that since we're building this house, the rainy season is now upon us.
