Work Weekend

This weekend Holly's parents came up to help us with a house project. The middle pilings that support our house have been slowly sinking over the 20+ years since our house was built. We had to lay a concrete base wall in our crawlspace to support a future wood support wall. This weekend we hand-mixed and laid over 4,000 lbs of concrete.

By Saturday evening we were shot with sore throats from cement dust. Waking up early Sunday to ride MN Ironman in 45 degree, rainy, windy weather wasn't what we needed.

The positive side of this weekend is the concrete is done and we're ready to build up a support wall and start raising the center of the house.
