Good morning Lizards. Remarkably mild morning outside for late July here in Philadelphia. Just hitting 70F right now and the humidity is tolerable.

Construction site across the street is starting to dig a little deeper. They have piles installed and timber shoring around about half the perimeter right now, and are working on the completing the circuit. Some more concrete foundation has turned up and been jack hammered to pieces. One corner turned up a brick foundation as well.

Looking at the dig face it looks like so far they’re mainly digging in compacted earth - with a thin layer of gravel and about 4-6” of asphalt at the top from the former parking lot. It’s probably not that far down to bedrock though I expect.
