Digging

In the last few days we have measured and started to excavate rough basement corners. Since we've begun, we've been very fortunate where the weather (Hurricanes Katrina & Ophelia!) has been concerned, the ground has been very dry. We've had our first soil test, which measures how many pounds per square foot the soil can support without settling, and we've passed! There is a minimum of 2000 and we've passed with an average of 2700.
