What's the deal with the BIG rock going into the basement?
Footing for the chimney/fireplace?:

As opposed to the rather famous house that has large chunks of rock
sticking up in the living room . . .

i wonder why the vertical beams were squared and did they buy them
or make them

maybe that is in another video

interesting they used machinery to clear the plot but it looks
like they dug the rest by hand

hard and nice work and nice lumber they have access to

I thought the second link was going to take us to a clip of the Dick Van
Dyke show where Rob, Laura and their friends Jerry and Millie were looking
at houses and one had a huge chuck of bedrock, or a boulder, sticking up in
the basement... I guess this is an age test for the .rec participants. ;~)
