An excavator entered the site from Munday HIll Quarry. It then commenced work in the undergrowth beyound where the pond was in the winter months. Later it was digging a shallow trench.
The septic tank is buried, which means to get to the covers on the top of it, you actually have to dig them up. My grandparents had a septic tank (which was used before city sewar) and it's lid was slightly above ground. I wondered why the installers couldn't have been bothered to put the lids at least level with the ground. Then the toilets drained out, causing it to overflow. Then I understood why they buried it :-)
This picture shows the gardener is digging the garden. She is doing this by the time of being photographed since digging was the only garden activity she can do and before that she removed all the weeds from the garden.

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!
Daddy cooked up some darn good fried rice the other night. And, being the groovy guy he is, he decided he was going to eat it with chopsticks. But we had just one pair -- and Devin wanted them. Actually, he demanded them. "Daddy, me!" So Scott gave them over and the kid just dove in. Although he didn't use the "proper" method, he came pretty close. He's two and he's better at it than me!
Tom digging the drain in the Blind Pit (the pit is on a fault; breccia on the right, slickenslides on the left wall)
Digging for worms!?!
