When I look at this it's hard to find them.
Yes the man came with his big machine and took our mess away,which was of course good. He bunched the RV into manageable pieces and rammed it all in one bin, and then he clawed the rest of the crap all up and stuck it in another bin. It's quite clear That the floor is completely ruined, and according to Rocco the engineer we can salvage the foundation simply by cutting off the top six inches and replacing it. They are still responsible to remove the bad concrete, and after that the only remaining decision will be to let the contractor build it, or to do it ourselves. Money will make that decision, which probably means that we will be doing it.
And I have decided to find at least one silver lining every day for a while and today's is this,
Certainly you can remember listening to me bitch about the shingle on our garage. I have patched it at lest 6 times. Jon was gonna come down this weekend to fix it once and for all!
The engineer says the whole top of the garage has to come off! Trusses, sheeting, siding, and....you got it....the shingles!!! ha ha silver lining. I told jon to stay home and listen to his babes heartbeat!!
And just two more sleeps til Ky and Colb get home, and then all will be well with my world again!

Doing it ourselves (I better get invited, even though I'm not as useful any more as the younger generation!) would also mean it was done to the standard that you're accustomed to! I'm also curious about how you remove 6 inches of concrete and how many inches there are??
ReplyDeleteI won't offer to help 'cause I'm useless around tools, but I could cheer! And once again, Elly's right. You would hover over any contractor, watching every move, and as long as "we" is more than you, it could even be fun. An old fashioned barn raising, er...garage raising.
