Layout and Digging Trenches
March 24th, 2006
On March 23 we finished digging (most of) the trenches for the foundation. We dug by hand. The soil has about 9 inches of topsoil over a clay/sand base. It was work, but not too strenuous for a little house like mine.
Batterboards and strings define the layout:
Trenches dug. They only have to be 12 inches deep here in coastal Virginia. The middle trench is the edge of the main house, and the outer trench to the right is the edge of the porch. There will be 6-foot wide porches on the first and second floors.
