Dig Dig Dig


Amazing what one bobcat can do with a jackhammer attachment.  In no time they broke up the old cement walls and then with the shovel attachment they dug out the old foundation down to the new depth.  The guy is accurate too.  Scraped right up to the old foundation in preparation for the underpinning with new concrete.  Part of me is waiting for the back wall in the kitchen to collapse...ha ha. 

One small bad thing was they removed part of the b
erm and hauled it away with the rest of the soil and debrits.  When right and told them and he said he'd put topsoil back....we'll see. I knew i should have moved the berm myself. 
The tree and plant protection fencing is up all around the yard.  Just have to protect the very front around the entrance walkway. 

The depth of the dark beautiful topsoil is incredible. It must go down 8 feet!  No wonder you can grow anything. No like in the new sprawl where the developers scape away the top soil, sell it to others and put a couple inches back to grow sod.
