Can You Dig It

Russell spent a very productive week working on the garage, digging out the old cement supports, pouring new footings and stem walls, and rebuilding the walls with fire-resistant Hardie board.

Hopefully we will pour the garage floor this week so that there's a clean, secure place to store materials like the kitchen cabinets, which arrived last week!  More supplies are on the way: bathroom vanities, toilets, faucets, and the kitchen sink...
