Day 45 – Me and My Amazing Crew!
So today, we sorted out the roofing and solved the whole “can’t dig a pile right where the gas line is” crap. After much discussion and thought and more discussion with the guy who came to actually dig the piles, we have come up with an off-set pile to solve the problem. Man, I hope it works.
This morning, my mom and R’s parents showed up to supply some free grunt labour. We, as a crew, accomplished the following by 3pm…baseboard and trim removed from both the spare room and the eating area (plus all of the nails pulled), removed the light fixture and plugins from the spare room along with those in the eating area, pulled the siding off of three of the exterior walls, and pulled out the laminate in the spare room. A few minor injuries and some inevitable soreness and I say a job well done.
We are so thankful for our families, they are making this insanity worth while and not quite so frantic or insane.
Tonight, we go back to the pit and continue getting rid of the extra gravel and the concrete and clay debris from the basement. The fun and exhaustion never end!
