When Foundations Crumble - Home Remodeling

Updated: 16 February, 2017 seen 69

When the foundations are being destroyed, what can the righteous do? Psalm 11:3

Today was meant to be an easy day, we had to continue foundation works, pouring in concrete, nothing complicated in fact, just a manpower to carry gravel with wheelbarrow for some 100 meters from the pile to the concrete mixer. I had two workers helping me out today, what could go wrong?

It was planned some visitors will arrive in the evening and we will grill some meat and look on overall progress of home remodeling.

And then it happened:

Rock fall on the foundation

Rock fall on the foundation

A minor landslide and rock from the old foundation felt in the free flow. Concrete was still fresh  it was just a matter of removing that rock and making sure there is no more landslides around foundation

Somebody had to remove that rock

Visitors arrived but I was still busy managing rocks out of the foundation.
