Today, the guys did some surveying work, marking the edges of where the block will get placed, for the mason who’s coming on Monday to lay block. The also removed a lot of brick from a few places on the house.
In the first picture, they removed the top row of brick and also removed the brick from a space to the left of the chimney. That’s where a door will break through from the existing basement to the hallway into the library and office.
In the second picture, you can see the brick removed from the garage end and part of the back of the house where the computer room will be.
You can also see a lot more mud than a few days ago, mostly because of a lot more bulldozer traffic, but also because we got a huge rainstorm last night and, well… mud.
We’ve got a pretty good site now to get the “missile testing” comment from the movie The Money Pit.
