day forty nine.

today, we got to site at 11, because we are way behind and need to catch up. i worked with cody and anna to finish the trench. cody operated the trencher while anna and i assisted as needed. i stood in front and directed cody, so that he wouldn't fall off the boards and into the trench, but also so that he was close enough to the edge so that the blade didn't rip into the boards. we did this until 3:00, when we ran out of gas, and also when john came by to take our group picture. this process took like an hour, but it was highly entertaining. we took pictures in a few spots: up on the rafters, sitting in the windows on the front of the house, and in a doorway. after this, anna, cody and i went to lowes to get more gas, then to finish using the trencher. however, the trench itself is not finished. so much of the loose dirt and soil fell into the trench, and now we have to go back in and dig it all out, so that it's 40" deep. yayyyyy
