Great progress!


Today Ron and Doug Ross, a friend from work made GREAT progress! The foundation is "rough cut" and tomorrow they should be able to finish by excavating out the footings. Is was soooo nice to pull up this afternoon and see the hole! When they first started digging it was questionable because when Doug tracked the excavator over to start digging the tracks were not moving but the excavator was. It was so slimy that he was sliding down the lot! Once he got the layer of slime off though we discovered that there is some good "hard pan" (bearing soil) under it, yeah! We still decided to bring in some rock to have a nice capillary break under the basement floor and also it makes it a "cleaner" site. I will try to get out there and take more pictures tomorrow!
