The footing work continued on the front of the house. More large rocks were found while exhuming the dirt. There are enough rocks now to start a rock garden of some sort, except that they are not exceptional – just ordinary rocks.
The trench is almost deep enough.
More rotten wood must be removed.
It seemed for a time that there might be a hurdle. I found a gas line but soon realized that it was disused. This solved the mystery of a capped-off gas pipe in the basement. It was is a remnant of the old pipeline.
There isn’t any reason to pull it out. It will sit in the dirt.
Almost ready. An attempt was made to use the panorama feature on the camera. Although the joists were in poor shape, they were not this misshapen.
