Honestly, it's hard to tell exactly how this is going - only the excavations continue, and are impressive, and maybe one day we'll get a new terrace and a back yard that doesn't look like it'll fall down the hill. One day. If you look very closely here, you'll see a thin orange line snaking into the foreground. That's making an electric pump work. At the lower level is another thin orange hose - that's conveying the water - well, who knows where, because we can't clamber over all of this, in the mud, to find out. For down in that left hand corner of the diggings - as far away as it could be from where they dug down to get the soil samples - is - guess what? - a spring.
Of course, I have fantasies - maybe we could bottle this, and make a fortune - Los Feliz Water! - or, better and more alliterative, given our street name, Shannon Spring Water! In the meanwhile, we're waiting to hear what the construction company propose, and, more to the gloomy point, how much it will cost. It's not quite at a stage when one can say - oh, you know, maybe it's not worth it, after all. Maybe we could build a fountain?
