Work around the house...

Well, Nancy wanted me to mention that we've been doing some big things 'round here lately... mainly in the region of our basement.

Nancy contracted with a construction company to re-cement the basement of her 120 year old house. But that's not all: in doing so, they've lowered the floor eight inches (I no longer bang my head on the rafters) which gets us another 500 cubic feet of space. They've put in a french drain & sump-pump, sealed and re-cemented the walls, moved sinks & water-heaters, re-run plumbing lines, put in thinner furnace ducts, performed mold-abatement and have rebuilt the basement stairs.

All this in the space of less than 3 weeks.

The surprising thing to me was, I had no clue that this was about to occur until 2 days before it started...
