Today the footers were dug for the master bedroom wing and the garage wing (mostly). There was a delay when they found that the septic drain pipe ran along one of the lines for the footers so they had to move it. That took a bit more time than expected, so the garage wing footers aren’t completely done, but will be tomorrow morning.
It was incredibly impressive watching the precision of Steve, the backhoe operator. I’d have sworn he had nerve endings on the bucket with the way he was feeling around with it and pulling out rocks, NOT breaking septic pipes, and just barely brushing the sides of the existing structure.
I shot a lot of video and trimmed it down into a short, two-minute summary version of the day’s events.
