A Chip Off the Old Path


Our house is an inversion of the neighbours to our west, and vice versa. Between our houses is an easement that allows us an outside route to our backyards from our front yards, and vice versa. The area pictured is at the south end of the easement, where an ancient piece of concrete was removed after I found a hole that was likely the result of what happens when you bury a large amount of organic matter (cellulose) 110 years ago. Fearing a break in the sewer line, my neighbour dug back a metre to make sure everything is sound (it is). To do so, a section of concrete had to be removed, and the rock work above is my attempt to replace it.
