Scarey Sounds

This was by far the most unpleasant of days. Vibrations, bumps, crunching sounds ... icky pooh!

After crew left for the day I found out why I got spooked so many times. Living room foundation was r-e-a-l-l-y bad.

All of the push piers have now been installed. Living room crawl space and basement foundations will be lifted tomorrow (Friday). Foreman hoped that wall anchor installation would also be done tomorrow. He also commented that the crew would be on site Monday to finish up their work.

Work began today refilling all of the holes on south side. A lot of manual labor along with a compactor - that decided it didn't want to work today, probably the mid 30's temperature? The south side yard is looking better ... only half the dirt remains. We can also exit the garage through patio door and not fall into a hole! There was a lot of structural damage to concrete blocks and mortar on the garage foundation. Really sickened me to see ... means more repairs may be needed in the near future.

Still doing without the hot water heater, amazing how we adapted to the situation. Boiling water to do the dishes and showering in the camper ... well it's almost like camping!

Here's to tomorrow ~~~
