Almost forgot - more State Fair

What a week! Learned that repairs to our foundation are going to cost a little over $30,000.00 and work won't begin until after Christmas. This house was built in the 1950s and code was dfferent then. What we learned is that over time the center beam had "bananaed," or curved which is what is causing the house to shake when large heavy trucks go by and floors to be less than level. Trying to straighten it isn't possible and trying to level the house would cause the corners of the house to lift and, quite possible, damage the floors. What has to be done is place steel beams to either side of that beam and on joists that aren't properly supporting areas of weight. If that sounds like mish-mash, I understand. But we saw the photos and the diagrams of what will be done. The guy said that although they can't level the floors, in time the house should settle onto the new supports gradually. Anyway, it is a must do. Friday we picked up our grand-daughter and hubby taught her to make his pumpkin cake. She loved the experience and the cake, which we sen half of home with her. Then this morning, before taking her home, we all went to IHop so she could have a Mr. Mummy pancake.
