Foundation Work Day 5: It's Like The House is Purring

  I'm not sure what tool they are using, it isn't very loud but you can hear a low vibration sound, so it sounds like the house is purring.  I've been seeing so many people playing the new Animal Crossing and it made me want to play too.  I don't have a copy of the new game(yet) so I charged my old Nintendo DS up and played some of my old Wild World game.  There are so many things I still need to do in this game!

  Tank really doesn't like the sound of the big trucks backing up and beeping.  That's what really makes him nervous.  He was pretty fine with the jackhammering, but once he starts hearing those beeps he goes into hiding.  I wish I could ask him why that sound bothers him so much.

  They have this thing.  It's like a jackhammer, but a shovel, a jackshovel?  I think that's what I was hearing earlier this morning.  It's really interesting and I don't think I've ever seen one before.

  This is where we are going to raise the sharks before we put them in the moat.  I decided we need miniature sharks with lasers in our moat.

  Anyone can have an outdoor moat, but we are working on also having an indoor moat.  You can see how much water is in it.  Because of all of the moisture down there, the door to the basement is swelling and rubbing on the wooden kitchen floor.  I am not happy about that.

  It is pretty freaky to look out the french doors and just see a pit.  The dirt is pilled up to the left of this picture, so we are getting a wall to go on the outer part of our back-moat.  That way it will make it even more difficult for invading squirrels to get in.

  I saw this mark on the floor when I was down there checking on the indoor moat.  I feel like it is a good sign because it looks like a cat head when they are listening to something behind them.

 I had planned on doing the entire test knit out of one color, but when I got to the end of the garter stitch area and had used most of my first skein (out of two), I knew I had to go with something else.  I could have bought more brown, but they don't make that particular yarn anymore, so I don't know if the colors would have matched enough.  I also had planned on making a note in the pattern in case someone wanted to make it with two colors.
  Now I'm debating on if I should make two of them or if I should just use one of the tester's pictures on the pattern page on Ravelry.  That will be something to worry about later.
