Another one bites the dust? the dirt? whatever...


In order to make the changes that we want inside, we need to move some of the bearing walls inside the house around... not far, but far enough to warrant putting more support under the house directly under the place where the walls will carry the weight of the roof and the floors above...

In order to do that we have to feed the 'skinny guy' to the house:
Corey is ready... Hair is covered, Mask in place, knee pads on...
Going...
going...
and then there was a slurping noise and a loud burp and that was the last we ever heard from Corey...

Well, not exactly...
Here he is, sliding around under the house, looking for the blue wires that we drilled down through the new framing so he would know exactly where the holes had to be dug for the concrete pads that had to be poured.

Either that or he's looking for a cool, dark place to take a nice nap...
Special thanks to all the skinny guys who can, and did, fit under the house for this project! We'd make you a cookie but then you'd gain weight and then who would we send under the house?
