Trenching

While not as dramatic as the past few weeks, it was easy to find signs of progress when I stopped by to check mail today.

The sewer trenches have been dug through the driveway. I was really encouraged that there are two - if one of the two lines backs up, we'll still have a functional bath and sink in the other wing.

Forms were up for the foundation for the master bath/closet, and at the back of the great room. Rebar for the foundation was on site in rod form. Pediments had been dug for joist supports in both areas as well.

A simple treat was the view of sunset in the rafters I caught just before leaving. It struck me that it has been probably 50 years since that wood saw that much daylight. And it struck me that with this solid remodel, it'll be 50 years or more before they see daylight again when we're done.
