It was an old house that was on the property when my grandfather bought it. He tore it down, and I knew where the house was located, but I had no idea that they just piled all of the crap into the hole and covered it over. But there is more to the story than that too.

We are running into steel sewer lines (they would have to be pre-1950 or so) and a whole bunch of other things, and you just can't go dump those over a hill like you can dirt. That makes cost go up, and it makes it take a lot more time to get things done.

 

Here are some updated pics of the property. The basement will be dug in the morning and should be finished tomorrow evening. Rock for the foundation should go in on Saturday, and the walls should be set on Monday or Tuesday, at least that is the schedule right now.

 

It would suck if your found human remains or dino fossils. That would bring everything to a halt...unless you found Jimmy Hoffa's remains, then you would be rich!

 

Odd thing is that it wouldn't surprise me if they found a body in there

Not Jimmy Hoffa, but a body wouldn't be to off base.

 

Maybe some civil war memorabilia

 

Nothing out of the ordinary yet. Basement is dug and will be ready for stone on Monday morning. Basement, porch, and garage walls will go in on Wednesday.

 

well that's what they do. found this out 2/3 years ago when the house we had next door to us was torn down. they ripped a foot or so off the foundation and then just filled the hole.

 

tribal burial grounds :crossfingers:

 

Basement/wrap around porches are dug, rock tomorrow, foundation Thursday with steel I-beams placed, deck (subfloor) will be on Friday.

Just hope the rain doesn't come like they say it could (over an inch for tomorrow)

 

That doesn't look very deep for a Basement h:
