Foundation Fix

Our foundation needed some help in the form of leveling and stabilizing. So some guys came out and dug some big holes.

A bunch of big holes.

Then they put some concrete piling pieces under the foundation wall...

...and smooshed them down into the ground as far as they would go, using a hydraulic jack.

Then they used a bunch of hydraulic jacks to raise the foundation up, and propped it on some blocks and more piling pieces.

Here's the back door - before. The top corner was dragging on the frame.

Here is is after - hard to see, but it was almost perfectly aligned. No more dragging.

Remember - keep the soil next to your foundation moist (we didn't enough!)

Grandcamp Treasure Hunt

As usual, this Grandcamp started off with a "Mimi's Treasure Hunt" - always challenging and exciting.

Some of the hiding places have been used before...

... so they are pretty familiar...

...and pretty easy to find.

Later, we had 'dancing to the video tape'. This involves some falling down and crashing, of course.

Then, to wrap off the evening, there was a little exercise trampoline bouncing...

...and hanging.

As usual, we all had a great time!
