| Roger's Truck |
Just to prove it was a sunny day, this late afternoon photo of Roger's truck is included. He has been able to haul some pretty heavy wood to the site with it. That's .com in the small print under Service.

| Hole in east end of north wall |
With dryer weather the tear out continues. As the old wall is torn away the foundation will be poured to support the new north wall.

| Jackhammer "trying" to break out foundation |
Back in about 1980, Don Bloome of Pour Man Construction fixed the corners of the barn to keep it from caving in. Don did a real good job.
The four corners he put in are still holding. But Don had some interesting ways. One of these is now causing some problems. A close look at the photo shows dirt, dug out from underneath the foundation. One would think that with support gone the cement would break away.
Well, as people who work with cement know, rerod made of steel is usually used to help reinforce the cement. Even that shouldn't be this hard to break. The reason that the jack hammering is taking time is that Don used old steel fence posts for the rerod. The old fence posts layered in there are much harder to cut apart.
Maybe tomorrow this piece will break away.
