The Diggings

One of the many things that we decided needed to happen in this house is a full concrete basement floor. The basement has bits of concrete that are discontinuous. If the house is closed up for any length of time you can really smell the earth. Out of the blue on Saturday that would be New Year’s Day, Chris was contacted by the gentleman who had agreed to do this work. He asked if he could come on Monday? At 8 AM. Bright and early. I didn’t get up early enough to get real before pics. This is a partial before pic.  

There used to be some wood bits that formed a sort of workout board walk. The men at work. 

They need to take out a few inches of the sandy clay to give room for the cement floor.
