Even though it has been a bit overcast and rainy, the construction firm started work on April 1st. They hung a big blue tarp off the back of the house to cover the site as they prepare to start the footers.
My back yard is all clay, and they had to dig by hand because there is no alley or street access of any kind to my back yard — the kind of access you need to bring in the sort of equipment they might usually use to place a foundation for an addition like mine.
Today they dug the holes. My sister-in-law was freaked out by this picture because she said it looked like some body disposal site (holes next to something long under plastic. That’d be one tall body, though, because my yard is 19 feet wide and that plastic stretches almost from fence to fence.
