October...

I found the following post half-written from October, so I figured I'd post it and fill in the blanks...

Sorry for taking so long with posting... sigh...

Between my work (9:00am - 7:00pm), ministry, kids and actually working on the house, there is not much time for things like blogging.

Anyways, here are some of the promised pics. A lot has happened in the month since I last blogged.

Here's the bathroom without its floor:















We had to dig this out completely to remove all the sand that was built up under here. Also, we were digging around the perimiter of the house to lay a concrete footing when we found the old sewer cleanout for the old septic tank. We had to remove it, cap the existing sewer line to prep it for future plumbing. By the time we were done, we dug a HUGE hole.

This next pictue shows the dumpster bin (which lived there for far too long). If you see the 2x4's nailed into the side of the house, that's actually what supported the whole house while we pulled out the old rotten floor beams under the wall.














Once the new beam was in, we were able to jack up from the beam. This was tricky. It is weird to look back on these pictures and see how much we have done since then...

I guess that's enough reminiscing from over four months ago. I'll post the newer stuff now...
