Excavation!

This huge machine arrived this morning, shaking the house as it moved. In three hours, the huge hole was dug for the basement. The operator did a great job of removing the earth from around the natural gas line. The basement walls and foundation are in great shape, and it appears that the clay weeping tile was installed in the Seventies. No going back now!

Laundry pole removed.
The first scoop.
Almost done the excavation.
...and all finished.
The big hole in the yard.

Gas line supported


Only a little bit of the earth left behind. Six loads removed.
