Starting to Make Progress Once Again!

Keith has joined Bill, and, for a week, they addressed erosion problems, and finished the first layer of horizonal rebar on the garage and started the vertical layer of rebar. 


Square gray grate in center of picture is the drain.  The house is just to the right, out of the picture. The black and white 'snake' on the left is the corrugated pipe.


Yesterday, Bill and Keith made a drain, lined in brick. So, instead of the water washing down the hill, it should collect in the drain and go down the half-buried 4" corrugated pipe and come out near the bottom of the hill.

And, also yesterday, Wayne the Welder did a wonderful welding job on "the beam that was too short."








The lumber to build the garage wall was delivered Friday and this week, IT WILL BE BUILT.  With the welding done, some of the panels can be put on the house, along with rebar. We still need to hear from the engineers about the support for the 2nd floor.  That should be very soon now.
