After years of putting it off, tomorrow the foundation repair begins. I believe they'll be installing nine anchors. I've requested they finish under the bedrooms tomorrow since Jonah won't be here. I think he'll be able to nap if they're on the other end of the house by Wednesday. (It's a three-day job, but they won't be here Tuesday due to the funeral of a family member.)
For the last three months, we've been preparing by moving stuff ten feet away from the front foundation wall. Thank goodness we don't have nearly as much as most people do. And the best part of this project is that we now have even less!
Another positive is the reorganizing of our storage room. Since we moved in nearly 30 years ago, we've worked with the really bad homemade shelving that was already in place. All of it had to be ripped out for the repair. So now we'll build something that works better for our needs. Plus I've finally got Jim on board to seal and stain the concrete floor. That'll make it so much easier to clean with no more concrete dust.
I guess it's true -- there's always a "silver lining."
(Day 27 of 30-Day Shred: Decided to sleep in, so worked out late afternoon. Mornings are definitely better for me, but it wasn't too bad.)
