5:39 Almost looks like an old fire place / pizza oven 🤔 keep up the good work 😊

[@backwoodscustoms]

I know lol I was pretty confused when I first got into it. I was trying to figure out how a fire place under ground would work. But according to Grandpa it's a sistern for storing rain water in the summer for the winter in case the well froze or failed for some reason.

Good luck to you man, this is the hardest job. I lucked out with my house, it only needs digging out by maybe 5’ tops, but it’s still going to be a lot of work. I’m renting a mini excavator. You need a bunch of concrete blocks on hand to support beams and such when you get the rock loose

[@backwoodscustoms]

Yeah lol I really should be more prepared but sometimes you just wing it and hope for the best lol.

[@glenhaycox6332]

I’m glad it didn’t hit your butt either ! You would have another crack lol!

[@Superduty_59]

Thanks for the update I know that's not easy work to say the least!

[@backwoodscustoms]

No it is not, but if you figure time spent digging to progress it goes pretty fast, but like I said im going to have to back off a little bit to keep my wrists together.

[@glenhaycox6332]

Looks like an old water system

[@nssomedude]

I bet the "brick monstrosity" is a bucket well near the original kitchen.

[@backwoodscustoms]

That's what I've been gathering. Grandpa was not even a little confused on what it was.
