It's a Hole!

The excavation hit non-"diggable" rock so they had to pull out the rock hammer.

Please notice the front track up off the ground. Yeah, it did that a lot today during both digging and hammering. That poor backhoe driver - his teeth probably rattle in his sleep.

Things are all done for today, which means Emmett and Olive have crawled out from under the couch. Most of the kitties handled the noise well, though. Tomorrow should be steel and plumbing. Not sure of the schedule after that but we've been told it should be four to six weeks from start to finish.

Right now, though, it's just a big hole in the ground.
