Some dirty work

We've had some busy days lately over at Ridgewood with the dewatering system going in down in the basement and dry wall work and flooring prep on the first floor.

Here's the dewatering system install in-process. 

And in the back yard, the system requires PVC pipe to route the water away from the house.

And here's what it looks like after everything is put back together and the wall liner is installed.

A new barrier - kind of like a window well - has been installed in the back yard where the electrical comes into the house since it was previously buried underground.

We worked on the shed today and found some old airline tickets from the 50s. $30 would get you from Chicago to St. Louis then. 

...and we found some stilts...

...and still have just a a bit (i.e., maybe an hour or two) of work left.
