Dude, we're getting a house – part 2
New House
Originally uploaded by Cordelya
I stopped by the house today and discovered a big hole in the ground. The included photo is taken from the back right corner (as if you were looking at it from the street). In the upper left of the photo is the shallower footings for the front porch. There are also two large piles of dirt, one in front of where the house will be, and one right behind it. Click the picture or caption to look at it in detail and see all of the other pictures (I have 10 so far).
Notice the nice red clay in the lower half of the hole walls. That’s why the ground doesn’t percolate – why we had to fight with the County Health Department over square footage and holding tanks.
