Week Two; Day Six

Today I awoke to an overcast and misty morning. I wondered how wet the ground was and whether the holes were dry enough to work in. Foreman Matt calls every morning to let us know they are en route ... today that call came in at 8:46 a.m. Crew set right to work ... chiseling away at unneeded concrete ... hydraulic ram installing push pier pipes. It was a very noisy morning, so no t.v. viewing for me, I sewed instead.

After their lunch break they began setting pipes in crawl space beneath living room. The room really started doing alot of creaking ... gave me the heeby-jeebies. I immediately stopped sewing and cleared out of the room. I had convinced myself that the brick face of the fireplace was indeed going to fall on me! Talk about a sissy ... nothing fell, no new cracks appeared, but my grandfather's clock had been removed from the mantel ... because, well, you never know!

No pictures to post today ... if you've seen one hole, pier bracket or installed push pier ... you've seen them all.

So tonight I'm enjoying the "peace and quite"!
