After seeing the previous picture, http://media.365project.org/1/6561888_ijoquvz269_m.jpg
the work continued with pumping all that rainwater out and yesterday, they poured the footing. it'll be interesting to see the work in progress especially since I only need to walk a few steps across the street to take a picture. when the new house is up, I'll post the former little cottage next to the new one.
