Dad and Ray have been restoring the Ormand House ~ a 1903 historical home only a few blocks from where we live. As they were digging the footings for a bathroom extension, they came upon some loose dirt. They kept digging ~ hoping to find solid ground somewhere down there ~ but they finally gave up on the idea after Ray's eyes were at ground level. They were halfway to China! : )
Have you ever heard the saying..."You're digging your hole deeper!" : )
What did I get myself into?!?
Dig and dump, dig and dump....
They had to fill the hole with washed stone and tie into the foundation with rebar. When working on an older home, they always have to be prepared for the least expected situations, but this one was a little beyond their imagination! : )
