Hello everyone just dropping by to let everyone know still around. Well, last week took the my car for oil change & inspection stuff before we leave on the 18th, and needed a new battery. Monday afternoon the crew started working on our basement, jackhammering the concrete floor in 14 spots where the piers will be placed. Well, after 2 days of listening to a jack hammer, and again this morning (crew has 2 more holes) I'm about ready for the luny bin !!! Our basement has holes around the perimeter, plus all the dirt dug out stacked in piles.... oh my what a mess !!! The whole process of installing the piers, which involves adding a steel plate under the foundation wall, then pushing the piers down to bed rock (in our case 32'), then once all piers are installed & set they raise the foundation the 1"... simply amazing ! After foundation is raised, then the dirt is filled back in the holes, concrete is poured & whalha my basement will be back :) Then we get to start the cleaning process, my upstairs especially where the crew comes from outside & down the basement steps is a mess. So needless to say my life has been a little stressfull :) Also found out yesterday the post office made a mistake on when to start our forwarding mail, they mis-read the form & thought our mail was to start forwarding on Oct 8.... I told the postal delivery person, no we're still here, it's suppose to start Oct 18th !! So a trip to the post office was necessary, hope this gets corrected. Our eating has been sporadic because trying to empty freezer and frig., so there's lots of chicken ! Still exercising & doing pilates up until we leave. Just wanted to give everyone a clue of why I've not been around. Everyone have a great rest of the week, and will stay in touch !
