Digging Out A Crawl Space

Alex is down from Boston this week and we are digging out a crawl space beneath the kitchen of Christian's farmhouse. First the center floor boards were pulled with plywood boards cut to cover the hole between digging sessions. Debris and old insulation cleared next so the hot water line could be made smaller for faster delivery to the kitchen sink. Now we are digging the clay out deeper so that new concrete walls and floor can be poured.   

This project is the last big challenge in saving Christian's farmhouse and I bless the boys for their concerted efforts in such cold weather! We are burning the old sub-floor boards in the wood stove to help heat the house in the process.
