I hadn't noticed it at first because of the bush. After we cut back some of the bush, peaking out under some rusted galvanize, I could see a structure of rubble stone. A structure of what? One always hopes for a well, but after taking all the galvanize off we realized that we were unearthing an outhouse. Our friend Nathan who was helping us cut some trees quickly added, "You know people excavate outhouses. There are lot's of history in them and sometimes people even hid things in them". Hmm. So we didn't find a well in the literal sense, but perhaps will uncover something much more unexpected.
ok - so when is the outhouse excavation?
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure. I think we need to utilize some archeology techniques? I don't think just plucking around with a pick axe is the right idea.
ReplyDeleteYep you never know what you will find. Are those genip tree saplings in the pic? You may want to transplant them since i noticed they are not as common as when we grew up.
