Finally the Footings

Thanksgiving is almost here and I am finally digging the trench for the foundation. Yesterday I dug the north end of the shop and got the hang of the backhoe controls. Here is a picture of the almost finished product.

Using a backhoe is a lot like playing a very slow and boring video game. I have many more feet to go, so I'm sure I'll make the high score.

There will most likely be no post next week.

Happy Thanksgiving!

did you finish? Are you done with the CEB machine? Would you be willing to rent it out to someone in Taos?
