Cuttin' Up

Just like with the excavator that dug for the garage footings and our water connection,

this was a bigger deal than I had envisioned. When I got home from school there were five work trucks, as many men and a tiny track-hoe all here to cut some concrete for us. 

And they were all here for over six hours!

For some reason I thought it'd be just one guy for a couple of hours.

I'm learning.

Here's a quick summary of what they did...

We had three of our basement windows cut bigger for egress as required by code.

(I'm never quite sure if I should put captions at the top or bottom of photos)

Here is the north facing 'family room' window before.

This is the east facing bedroom window before.

This room was originally the furnace and storage room.

And this is the south facing bedroom window before.

This room was originally the Summer Kitchen and laundry room.

They also made several cuts in the floor so we can pull 

that concrete out and install new drainage pipes...

And this is my Al sittin' in the tiny track-hoe bucket.

That's all.

Short-n-sweet.

It's gettin' late.

We're tired.

Thanks for stoppin' by.

G'night, y'all.
