>>115398>>115133Some progress from yesterday, as of this morning the hole is almost twice as big.
Here's ~12 hours of digging, excuse the shitty panorama attempt and the rough annotations, the red dashed line was the ground level when the photo was taken, and the red line is the planned perimeter of the dugout walls. To get a sense of scale the shovel on the right side of the photo is ~3.5 ft in length.
I dug out quite a bit more this morning even beyond the red line. After preliminary digging is done, a dirt slop will be piled outside the edges to about a foot in height, the walls of the hole will be smoothed to a right angle, and a little less than a foot of clay from floor of the pit will be removed for a total of 4ft below ground level. From there I'll build up wooden and dirt walls and the roof from the slopes on the edges about 3 feet up.
