It was too wet for much to get done last week, but the weekend was dry and sunny, so today the concrete cutters came to cut the hole in to the existing basement from the excavation. I was having trouble envisioning this - what would keep the bugs and the rain out? They cut strategic slits, and then these slits were caulked. Once the basement walls are up and joists and roof and all, it will be "easy" to take a sledge hammer and knock out the bit of wall they outlined with their cuts. It was interesting to watch - but painfully noisy and dusty. Once they set everything up, the saw was operated by the guy in the boots with a remote control! The other picture is of the basement storage room, with the lights out to show the cracks of light coming in through the slits (before the caulking was done!)
