It's been so long since I've been on here, I don't remember what I told you last! Well we now have our footings, yippie! They were inspected today and we passed. So the guys are supposed to come back tomorrow and do the drain tile work (if the rain holds off) and then the walls can get started! The reason why there is water in the hole (again) is because when the concrete guys got here they realized that Monte dug our garage 2 feet too short and when Monte showed up to re-dig the caved in parts he dug the garage bigger and ran into another old drain tile and started another small flood!! They say when it rains it pours!!! I can't wait to see what goes wrong next!! Mom and I went after Christmas shopping and the guys were building the footings (that is all we expected to happen that day) and when we stopped home there were 3 cement trucks at our house.. I guess they called early and got the inspection right after they were built and started to pour the same day! The poor guys, it was quite a mess Dean (the concrete guy) said that this is his worst job (muddy, messy, ect), what an honor! Anyways they brought over two really big trucks and a pickup and when they got out of the way for the cement truck the one big truck got too close to the edge of the driveway and got sucked off.
I wasn't home to get the tow straps out of the barn and they weren't sure if they could get it out, but by the time we got back it was gone so I guess they got lucky. The driveway was trashed worse than it had been but since it was below freezing Deric took his skid steer and 'plowed' off the driveway! It was so nice, and it is still a ton better than it was, it is still messy, but you don't get 2o pounds of mud stuck on your shoes anymore.
They are supposed to be back tomorrow... and they have to disconnect the phone line to do what they need to do, so if they come you won't be hearing from me till their done. Hopefully it won't be too long, I have a lot of catching up to do!
