Pulling up to the house today, we could see that some work had been going on here.  First off, there’s a bobcat in the yard!  Cool!  I want to drive it.  But there aren’t any keys for it.  Too bad.

Believe it or not, I have experience driving a bobcat.  I had a summer job at the cement plant in town.  I used a bobcat to shovel coal into the burner for the kiln used to create Portland mix for concrete.  It was a good job.  Didn’t pay too badly either.

Anyway….they had dug the foundation out, which now outlines the garage.  It doesn’t look that big now.  Rick was looking down into the holes and commenting how you could bury a body in there.  Too bad I’m not that mad at anyone right now.  I guess the contractor would want to remove the body before they pour the concrete though.  Bodies and concrete doesn’t add anything to the structural integrity.

The building inspector came by tonight to sign off on the foundation work so far.  Hopefully we can keep up with the signatures and the work to move forward.  We’ve had projects where the wait for the next signature gets in the way.  Thanks, Ray.

So now for the photo of the day showing the work to date.
