A Few More Hours and Rain Storm

It took about an hour and a half, but we got the front doorway down. The header above the door was about 9 feet long and made by putting a peace of railroad track through the middle of 7 blocks and filling them with concrete. We were able to safely push it off and break the concrete off the rail with a sludge hammer.

All that you can see now of the doorway is the gap in the wall.We are hoping for good weather next week so we can finish up the block and get the floor up. There are a few piles of 2x6's we have to move to ...... details, details, we'll work it out.

And here is what the other end is looking like.

There was a bit of a storm that blew through this afternoon. There were some trees down and a ranch style house that is in need of a roof. The wind took it clean off. Sorry no pic but I thought it would be in bad taste to stop for pictures with all of the firemen and police stiff trying to get things under control. You could see all of the inside walls and the roof was 50 feet behind the house in a creek.

I did get a pic of a tree that was snapped off. This is a mile from my house. I do love the storms but feel bad for the people with the roofless house.
