Here in the back yard some excavation had begun at the time I took this picture. Each and every bit of work brings wonderful progress. Getting rid of the huge piles of dirt and rock just outside in the backyard is exciting. The doorway you see on the lower level is garage storage which opens to the backyard.
More of the large pile of dirt is disappearing being moved to the front yard for backfill up against the house. The house looks much larger when the basement is a walkout, wow!
Garage is now level and free of mud...that means no more pumping - yahoo! I should put a before and after picture to show the drastic difference where the wall of dirt once dropped off that we climbed (slid some days!) down into the work area as water was pumped or the waterproofing was attached, braces were put in place...many, many jobs down in that hole. It's thrilling. The wood floor you can see to the right in the garage is the new addition for extra storage (a.k.a. sewing room :) with the lower level open to the backyard for those of you yet to see it in person and understand what's what.
Soon we will no longer have to access the house using planks perched precariously (felt that way to me since I rarely have to use a plank!) over the dropoff down to the lower level of the house. The men make it look like a cake walk - but it isn't!
