Wall cave in...

So, we had a little cave in. Gary, the building inspector suggested that we pour footings for the old foundation wall. Ok -- so in order to do this, we dug down about 10 inches beneath the rock foundation and then three inches under it. The intention was to then pour cement and create a footing to re-enforce the wall. Sounds like a good idea. We'll on the wall that you see below, we had already removed a few LARGE rocks to add space for a bulkhead. The result was that the wall caved in. No one was injured and it wasn't as much of a disaster as you would think.

We ended up pouring some of the footings as you can see in the photo below. Once the rocks are removed we'll have to add a new foundation wall. Good news is that the house is still standing!
