Teddy gets in a few swings. He wants to do everything his brothers are doing!
Ben's turn. He took a few swings until he missed and hit the shin guard he still had on from soccer practice....He had fun until then!
Seth went to town! I was wondering what he was mad at! He was really ready for that nasty island to come down!
Here are a couple of pics from under the house. The mole team is under there digging it out. You have got to love how they pull the dirt out. When the guy under the house says "ready" the other guy pulls on the rope and out comes the load of dirt...
There they are under the house! Notice the wooden I-beam sitting on stacks of bricks...amazing really. The joists show some signs of previous termite damage, but it doesn't really matter since all of the wood under the house is going to be replaced. There is also very little dry rot, except at the ends of the boards where they meet the brick. That wooden beam running on the right of the picture is going to be replaced by steel and the stacks of bricks are going to be replaced by concrete piers. We can't wait to see if the rumor that there is an old slave tunnel leading from the house to an old barn is real. We have been assured that if they find evidence of something like that, they will stop and we will get a call. So far they have pulled out a turtle shell, a couple of small bones, an animal skull, 2 pieces of white dishes and an old tuna can...
