Foundation Excavation:
On Thursday, September 13, Malinda got a call in Gaithersburg
that the excavation company was on their way out to
Thistletop.
|
|
|
The backhoe begins
to dig the trench around the outline of the garage.
|
|
|
|
Thistletop sits
on the top of a rocky ridge. A small dynamite
charge was needed to dislodge a stubborn chunk
of rock.
(Click on the image to see a larger (52K) version
where you can see some dust and debris flying
as the charge goes off.)

The trench having
been dug, the concrete footers are poured into
the trench to support the concrete block foundation.

Pouring concrete

... and filling
the trench.
