Everyone is probably wondering what happen to the house remodeling project? Well in the process of removing the flooring and carpeting we discovered that the foundation on the south end of the house had sunk three inches. Sooo after several bids which involved engineers and permitting we decided to have it lifted. This involved drilling several very deep holes around the outside of the house, inserting huge steel piers, lifting the house with hydraulics and then drilling small holes in the foundation and inserting a two part polymer which expands and stabilizes the foundation. Amazing! Unfortunately after waiting almost two months for this process to happen - we went out of town on a previously planned trip to Aspen with friends. Hence the picture of me with friends snowshoeing in Aspen. We are now back home and I will commence blogging again about the trials of house remodeling.Monday, March 12, 2012
