wall to wall good times!

Yup... the old wall is gone and the new one is going up!  First we carved off all the old stuff...
Ain't no thing.  Look how unconcerned Wylma and I are.  Look at all those ancient layers of stable prehistoric stuff... just like the Grand Canyon!  Next we dug some holes for pilings...
By "we" I mean some incredibly tough guys who know what they're doing, not me & Sarah.  A bunch of concrete is going in there -- tomorrow in fact.  They call it "shock-crete" which sounds cooler.  I guess it's stronger (shockingly so) than regular concrete.  Then it's time for the grade beam, that goes along street level...
More shockcrete going in there.  Then a rebar frame up to the top...
 Whoops don't fall in!  Stay tuned for our next post... prepare to be shock-creted!
