Inches from the "finish" line

The goal of this stage is to get to a point where the house can be supported 5 feet in from the sill. That way a larger piece of equipment can come in and dig an 8-9 ft hole for the addition foundation. Shortly after that the digging will stop until spring.


The final dig will look like the whole front of the house is dug out with a deeper whole in front of it. This will allow excavating euipment to dig under the house.
Supporting the structure is becoming crucial.

A hydraulic hose ripped off the hammer yesterday. What a mess. Lots of confusion, pressure and rustration runing through my mind.


Anyway replaced a big honking fitting , $50 and new fluid $95 and we are ack in business.

The pile of dirt from the dig is 40-50 ft by 30 ft by 6 ft

It is getting exciting. And it is still fun... Ask me Monday
