The guys dug the foundation trenches very fast in the sandy ground. The setting out was not straightforward because there was a soakaway right where the corner of the extension is located.
Steam shovels mining the rock at Mount Basset Quarry for the Mackay Harbour. The original contractor, Mr GA Stronach was dismissed in July 1936 but work continued using some day labour and a new contractor. The harbour was officially opened on August 26th,1939.
Caleb & Ricky digging dirt.
Notice how you can see 2 and on the right, 3 blocks that have a coating of some sort on them? We will be filling this, and all the other rooms, with dirt up to the level where the color changes. That's a LOT of dirt!
The dirt absolutely won't come off my shoes completely. It's like a mix of clay, and roofing tar. Even taking the shoes off, and beating them sole-to-sole for several minutes only got about 80% of the stuff off. I don't know what this stuff is made of, but it's certainly making a sticky mess of my shoes, floors, and outside cement surfaces.
The dogs like to dig. They attack any hole with a vigor: gopher, ground-squirrel, rabbit. Dig, dig, dig.
The funny (embarrassing?) thing about this is that they have little or no interest in the occupants of the holes. I suspect that if R0ndo ever actually caught one, he'd just fling it aside to get it out of the way of the important digging.

Rowdy was sure he was close to getting a mouse out of this hole he was digging. I never seen anything even close to looking like a mouse, but like I have said Mom and Dad are giving everything to him so I have to humor him and wish him good luck. Besides I really like the look on his face. The lighting is harsh I just liked his look.

Digging for worms!?!

I like to show you wild animals in their habitat doing what comes natural. These photos may not always be the "framable" type, but instead, educational.
Grizzlies are amazing diggers. Long, fairly straight claws and the large muscle on their back (hump) enable them to dig for roots, ground squirrels and to dig their dens.
This was in Louisiana when the Ant Lab at LSU was commissioned by a British TV show to dig up a leaf cutter ant nest. This species, Atta texana, is the only one that occurs in North America.
