The Legend…

The Legend…

We’re on the tail end of the home construction/repair. The Master bath Granite counter was installed on Wednesday along with the plumbing. This should bring an end to the “dancing jigs” held in front of our guest bathroom since we’ve all had to share one bathroom for a while. Carpet […]

Throwing in the “wet” towel

Throwing in the “wet” towel

So guess what? Our dryer stopped working or rather “stopped heating.” We noticed that on Saturday while we were cleaning up from the house leveling. For some reason the dryer was not heating – so no dry clothes. Just wet damp stuff…hmmm…more moisture…moisture is my NEMESIS!   Great, another thing going south.  […]

Raising Cane…or the house foundation

House was raised on Wed Apr 1. The contractors were in the holes placing more round cinder blocks and a larger one. I’ve posted a gallery at the end of this post. Scary thing was all I could see was the top of the guys’ heads in the holes. They […]

Almost done

Final day of digging was done yesterday. I was worried since on my way to take the kids to school – we got some rain and HAIL! Pea size and it was a lot! But it only lasted for about 10 minutes. Great… It finally cleared up an hour later […]

Busting through concrete

Today the workers dug 22 holes out of the 33 needed. The rain yesterday pushed back our schedule just a bit so now I’ll be heading back to work on Monday and coming home on Tuesday when they start to “raise” the house.  An engineer will be here to validate […]

1st and 2nd day of work on foundation

1st and 2nd day of work on foundation

It was pretty interesting to see the four guys start to dig around our home on Wednesday. Funny thing was that before the men started, they used a grinder to sharpen up the shovels! Only time I’ve ever seen that was in a horror movie. So when the guy looked up […]

Okay so I’m a little far off on the headline but I wanted to throw an interesting twist to my post. Yes, we’ve decided to have our home foundation leveled. It’s an expensive homeowner cost but well worth it. We love our home, love our neighbors and the area. We […]

A little peace of mind?

A little peace of mind?

When my boss heard about the water leak we had – he mentioned you could purchase some sort of “shut off” hose. Today while the workmen are digging holes in my yard (foundation) I went over to Home Depot and looked through all of the replacement hoses for the toilet. […]

Water Damage!

Water Damage!

Sorry for not posting sooner. We had a major water leak at our home last Tuesday. One of our bathroom toilet hoses broke and it looks as if it had been running for most of the afternoon. Thankfully it was clean water.  My wife got home first and shut the […]
