Wednesday: Busily rearranging the outdoors (9/29/10)

This was kind of a fascinating day.  This is the original carport pad that he's about to tear up.

At the same time, his colleague is cutting the carport pad about 4-5" from the surface of the stone wall.  It was decided that this would hopefully give the wall sufficient stability while the pad was being torn up.

A moment later...
 


Half an hour later...


I had to go out for a while and don't know how long it took to remove all the debris, but this is what it looked like a few hours later, when I got back.

 


Success!




They also dug out the 4' crawlspace that will be underneath the new dining room (foreground), and beyond that, filled the courtyard garden space.


They also prepared the new carport for pouring.  And I think I took this picture right before the rain started...
