Solicitors abandon ye hope!

Greetings and welcome to the Pit of Despair!
<Insert Evil Laughter here>

Last week to our surprise a big pit was dug for our foundation and the front yard. It's a bit hard to tell from the picture below but in front of the wood is a 3 to 4 foot drop. It's kinda hard to tell what the builder is going to do but hopefully it will be leveled off and sloped rather than a drop with a retaining wall.


As you can see from this picture the foundation height is way over the length of my arm. The best part of the deep foundation is that the Acme Dungeon will fit perfectly in it. No more pesky solicitors at the door when you can toss them into the Pit. "Sure, I'll take a Time Magazine subscription! Just walk this way..."


Today we stopped by to see if any more work was done and there was! We have dirt! The house is slowly taking shape...


Here is the Cute but Evil Overlord surveying her domain while her minions are toiling in the pit.


No Pit of Despair is complete with out the protection of the surrounding Fire Swamp. Since everyone knows that Rodents of Unusual Size live in the Fire Swamp I was able to take a picture of one in action. As you can see this female known as Shadow is posed to strike at any intruder in her territory.


That's all for now. I have to get back to my search for the six fingered man.
