Albion, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - A man survived after being trapped under a collapsed home for an hour, but his employee died from his injuries.

It happened this morning in the town of Albion as three workers were trying to make repairs on a summer home.

They had just jacked up the home to deal with water problems underneath it. Two of the men were under the home when it came crashing down.

Hazen Stover was trapped under the house for an hour before crews were able to lift it off him. His employee Bobby Rodriguez succumbed to injuries.

This all unfolded about 10 o'clock this morning on the shores of Lovejoy Pond.

Stover's company Kennebec Home Improvement of Augusta was hired to raise and repair the foundation of a summer home that was sinking into the ground.

We have moved the ducks to the front yard!  They were spending all their time there anyway and I had to chase them back to their duck house each night.  That got tedious so I decided to move their housing out front under our apple tree.  There is a culvert nearby that has a slow but steady trickle and so I dug out a small "pond" there!  It is very small, only about 2 feet long and 6 inches deep but it's working well for them, plus I don't have to carry water to them!  They go in each night on their own now which is perfect!  All I have to do is close them up.  They wander pretty far afield but always seem to manage to find their way home.  They also are sociable with our laying hens, spending time near the chicken coop.  The chickens are separated by a hoop house so they can't mix but I've read you can keep ducks and chickens together.  We'll see!
