Proud Owners of a Footprint

On Monday we had stakes. On Tuesday we had the promising beginnings of a hole. On Thursday, we thought they were pretty much done digging.

We were pretty happy about it.

We were especially happy because there is a clause in our contract that says that if they have to bring out the big guns to get through major rock formations more than one day, then it happens at a cost to the buyers in the form of $1500 per day.

This lovely piece of rock is where our garage is located. I’m guessing there’s really no point in asking for a crawl space under the garage.

I thought that Mr. BBM was crazy when he said they were done, because "That hole is not deep enough! We ordered 9 ft. basement walls to accomodate my kobudo training!" Then I realized that Mr. BBM was probably right. Back against that wall of dirt and rock, we could have fit Mr. BBM twice, length-wise.
