Welcome to my castle…

We have a moat!

We came home yesterday to find the back door of the garage barricaded, and a four foot trench dug out to the side yard. The longer, narrower trench is part of the new required drainage system. We’re delighted that we can do this – it’s something we have wanted to do for a LONG time! Today a larger trench was added for the footers at the back of the house, and now the sliding glass door is barricaded as well.

Here’s what it looks like:

Directly under our bedroom, at the sliding door (watch that first step!)

Looking down to the left, behind the garage.

But all I can think of is this:

“You SWAM the Moat?”
