Seems like there are lots of things going on at the same time right now. Every time I stop by the house, trucks are piled around the place like puppies.
A subcontractor, Lance, was at the house today to dig the footer for the addition. Gary used his new transit to make sure it was level.
While Lance was there with the trackhoe, we also got rid of the last stump from the trees Bud cut down earlier. This one was in the front yard. The tree, which seemed to be on its way out anyway, had to go to make way for the underground utilities that will run from the new pole in the front yard.
The HVAC guys, Carl and David, were back today. Yesterday, they disconnected the air conditioning. Today, they planned to reconnect it, but apparently they had some trouble. Bud said they couldn't get the air to stay on.
Jesse, the electrician, was around for a while today too. He turned off the electricity to the kitchen appliances.
Tomorrow morning, Gary and Jimmy will finish preparing the hole for the footer. The concrete is supposed to arrive at 11:30 a.m.
Rain is forecast tomorrow evening, so it's important that they get the footer poured in the morning. If it rains before it's poured, then all the work they did today leveling the site will be washed into the trench.
You know, you'd be surprised how small the footer for the addition seems compared to the one for the garage.
