Support under fireplace

They came early today and worked all day building the support under our fireplace. That is another step toward getting off the Jenga piles and onto walls.

Closer to getting closer to the ground

They have put up all the plywood they are going to before we are lowered to the walls. The current plan is to have the concrete blocks delivered on Friday. The bricklayers will install them on Saturday. The house will be lowered on Wednesday. The plumbing will need to be redone because a lot of it is between the wall and the house. Some of the plumbing needs to be removed to get the beams out after they lower the house.
They also put up the support columns.
Because the concrete blocks need to go up about ten feet to support the fireplace, they installed scaffolding for the bricklayers to use.

Even more plywood

They put up more plywood today. This is a sample.
This is where they will build the support under the fireplace. The current plan is to have the materials delivered on Friday and build the the support under the fireplace on Saturday.

More Plywood

They added more plywood today. They also attached four straps from the foundation to the wall. You can see two of them on the left side of the house. The other two are behind the car.
I am told that they will build the concrete blocks under the fireplace soon. Once that is build, they will lower our house onto our new walls. YEAH!!!

Plywood

They started putting up the plywood today. They have to put a piece of wood at the top of the plywood to support it. The wall is taller than eight feet.
