What's going on down there anyhow?


My little home office area is set up directly over the garage, where all the excitement is right now. The first day I was sure a sawzall would soon come poking up through the floor somewhere close to my toes. Alas, my toes are all intact and the floor unscathed- all is well. Here though is a panorama to show the things that are going on down there. Basically after removing the concrete slabs from the garage, they've been mostly working to dig these 4 big square holes that will hold the cribbing, which will then hold our house up while they remove the existing foundation. (Let us all pray for no earthquakes). Then at some point they'll have to get rid of all that soil. Armando says we have good soil. What we have is rocky soil, but for foundation and stability this, it turns out, is good news.
