Well, this dig isn't as big as the so-called "Big Dig" that tunneled a freeway under Boston, but it is pretty incredible, nonetheless. You may remember a post back in mid-December when Stephen's basement project started. It has progressed steadily and the dig is now complete. Today they cut through into the old cellar and next week the last of the footings and foundations will go in. I think it has gone very fast given that it all happened one five-gallon bucket at a time.
The buckets in question
The new stairway on the north side of SKT's house
The dust is from cutting through the wall into the cellar --
we though it had cleared, but look what the flash revealed
Looking south under the living room
The new entrance to the cellar
Our life has been extremely ordinary, so this will have to suffice for news.
That's all for now.

It's pretty impressive. Those guys hauling it out were buff and tough. Is it safe?

They are buff and tough. They pulled those buckets up out of the hole like they were nothing.
It is quite safe. The finished house, once constructed (as it was oh so many years ago) is like a box that sits on the foundations, but the jacks are a precautionary measure.
