On Building

IMG_2389

We found out we were missing an entire wall on our foundation – one that went straight through the center of the house to hold up the second floor.  Yesterday, that’s what they worked on.  They built the wall.  A rather important piece.

We all know the foundation is the most important part of the house.  Build a bad foundation and you’ve got problems for years.  Build a good foundation and you can breathe easy at night.  If we had built my house without the wall … my second floor would have caved in during the first major windstorm.  Scary thought.

Suffice it to say, I’m glad they built the wall and I’m overjoyed they’re here.

Coming soon …  What I learned in 2013 and … Top Ten Favorite Books.

Much Love,
