This is why they used to make prisoners do this

Digging that is. Digging trenches really sucks. It's as simple as that. That being said, it's how Craig and I have spent the last week of our lives. Now that we're almost done with what's hopefully the worst part of this whole experience, I can sit back and reflect and confirm 100% that next time someone's getting paid to do this. Too bad prisoners don't still have to dig (ala Shawshank), it be great to see Paris do this for a change.

This week also included *almost* accidentally hitting a gas line (false alarm), actually hitting the neighbor's water line, and re-routing the sewer line -- fun fun! We're hoping to have the first round of concrete poured on Friday. Fingers crossed.

Good luck and be careful. Just yesterday at breakfast I read an article in the San Francisco paper. The article was about doing your own foundation repairs and how it is a "bad idea". The example case was a house that someone raised up on car jacks at which point it slid down a hill and into the neighbors house.

Pretty sure you won't have to worry about that, but be careful!
