Duvall House Raise Day 1

Well, the day has finally come. We are raising the house so we don't have to go through another stinkin flood. I am a little sad to see the brick go. We really loved it. They made quick work of tearing out the carport and the hideous storage shed. I am not really sure what they are going to do tomorrow but I know the debris pile in my yard will be gone.

Max came home from school and instantly put on a hard hat to start working. He helped clear out the plywood from the garage. He has since asked to skip school and stay home to watch the workers. I told the boys on the day they actually do the raise I may let them out of school a tad early to watch. However, I work a double that day so I don't know if I can hold true to my promise.

You can see a house in the top right corner of the photos. That house was just raised and is as high as my house will be.
