In the midst of all the work we are doing, the changing of the seasons keeps moving on. We can't hold a candle to New England, but I look forward to seeing these color changes from our porch!
In the "changes" theme, it is starting to feel like that old David Bowie number... when we dug the basement, first we moved it 5 feet north because of the septic field encroaching on the home site, then the foundation guys recommended we move it back a few feet... remember the picture of the tree stump at the corner of my bedroom? It might be a few feet off....
This is a photo of the footings for our basement. The first step will be to pour the footings (ie the first layer), then wait for the inspection, then pour the walls of the basement. This is, after all, earthquake county, so the foundation has to accomodate future earthquakes.
Lest we think that this is all work and no play, here is a picture of James and the kids clowning around. Notice the log Patrick is standing on: this was supposed to fall elsewhere, but given the broad empty space (nature abhors a vacuum, you know), it of course had to fall where James didn't want it too...
