When we showed up at the house Saturday morning to set fire to the burn pile, the block layers already were there! We were shocked to see them working on a Saturday.
They laid the entire garage foundation by early afternoon.
Gary stopped by in the morning to check their progress. He said the plan for next week is to fill the foundation with gravel and to begin some work on the house.
He wants to knock out the wall between the kitchen and the existing pantry before he and Jimmy start work on jacking up the rear of the house. (It seems to sag from the about the midpoint of the house down to the kitchen.) And he wants to tear out the existing cabinets, which we will reuse in the garage, and store them in the living room.
So later in day, while Bud watched the burn pile to make sure we didn't set the neighborhood on fire and went on a Weed-Eating spree around the yard, I started cleaning out what was left in the kitchen.
It was a long day. After dinner, we fell asleep watching the Kentucky game.
On Sunday, we have to finish cleaning out the kitchen. This means boxing up some things we want to keep and some we want to sell, in addition to moving the table and chairs, the TV and the cabinet it sits on, and a large freestanding cabinet that also will find a new home in the new garage someday.
