Excavation

Hello friends, family and all your creepies that read blogs of people they don't know...
Last week was out birthday week. You will have to wait until later posts to read about that tho;
To kick off the week, we hired excavators and dug up our backyard in preparation for the addition we plan to build. (build ourselves!)
They brought in a track-hoe, or so they called it, and wrecked our yard up good. In the process, we found some old bottles, some dating back to the 1920's, and some bone, which we have yet to submit for DNA testing. Speculation is much more fun though, isn't it!?
This week we will pour the foundation.

What we started with...

Gregg's worky outfit

Removing a very heavy concrete block and pole..


A collection of items found in our little dig.
Some date back to the 1920s, say the internet


Digging a walkway for extending the crawlspace


And..the finished product...


Bones of unknown origin, also found in the digging.
