Day 3 - Debricking

Today the workers removed most of the brick from the foundation in the rear of the house. This photo was taken before lunch and shows how quickly the guys are working. When I arrived home they had completed removing the bricks all the way down to the dirt on this side; and had a temporary support system in place. Right now there are some large blue tarps covering the holes so I am not able to get a great photo of the completed work. The also dug (by hand) the footers for the lower level of the addition today giving us even more fill dirt for the backyard.

By the way the bricks were cleaned of excess mortar and stacked to be reused in the new foundation. Hey government how about a "green" tax credit for keeping materials out of the landfill?
