The center ditch took about 2 months to dig, remember this in Mo. and the hottest time of the year. We were having days of over 90 degree tempitures. You could only work for a few hours each morning.

 

 

 

Looking from North to south almost down the center of the house. That is the center wall foundation ditch.

 

 

 

Standing in the center ditch looking east, this ditch is about 1-3 feet deep depending on where in the ditch you are. Both ditches were dug with a four pound hand pick and shovel.

 

By the way that is a five gallon bucket beside the cement foundation top right picture. This gives the ability to see how high/deep items are. I'm standing in the center ditch at the south end.
