The Bungalow Pit

Tales of a 1913 California Bungalow restoration.

Birth of a Ditch, Death of a Tree?

I had another one of those panic feelings and thought I’d better check on the Sinai Construction guys. I discovered they cut through some major roots in two of the trees in the front yard while digging a drainage ditch for the new alley drain. They didn’t think it was worth mentioning, what’s new?

I’m pretty sure the younger tree is a goner, but I’m hoping the 20+ year old Sweetgum tree will make it. The ditch runs all the way to the street through the front yard.

What’s next? Wait, don’t answer that.
