The sink holes were formed underneath the right hand side of the concrete porch.
One of the "Cave's"
Last week I wrote a post about surprises and in reality I should have waited a few days because the biggest surprise of them all was found last Wednesday night. We had torn down the addition off of the kitchen (due to termite damage) and Justin and Christian were breaking up the footers when the dirt underneath part of the concrete porch just collapsed. Large sink holes had formed around the original (100 year old) hand dug well, which was conveniently placed underneath right next to the house. The one hole was 9 ft deep and 6 ft wide, the other hole was about 15 ft deep and 1 ft wide. We back filled both holes and will need to monitor how the dirt settles over the next few months, therefore we will be changing the entire first floor plan. I'm a firm believe in the phrase everything happens for a reason and I'm actually more excited for the new floor plans then I was the old :)
Front of the House
Trying to Survive the Heat!
Past Memorial Day weekends have been made up of hefty bar tabs at Seacrets, dance parties at Fagers Island, and lazy days of laying on the beach. This MDW was spent tearing down siding, replacing an entire roof with new shingles, and lots and lots of SWEAT! We got so much accomplished this weekend and a big thank you to everyone who was there to help!
Investing a house is one of the most exciting, yet expensive investment anyone could have. Before you lay your plans down, be sure to have more than enough budget, as there are unexpected expenses along the way. Anyhow, what type of roof shingles your roofer used in order to replace your entire roof? Careful consideration of the shingle types, colors, and materials will ensure you to have a great resale value of your home.
