Today was Monday and while we were all back at work and school, lots of work took place here at the house. The masons finished the stonewall under the porch -- these photos won't do it justice as it was very overcast late today, but the stonewall looks like it's been there forever as though the new porch was built on top of it! They did an amazing job.
Outside, some work continued on the porch and we filled our first dumpster!
Inside, the ceiling in the laundry room and its environs were torn down so they can check the foundation under the servants' wing. Tomorrow a structural engineer is coming by to check the floor joists and other things to find out what needs to be done to the foundation to support the new family room.
Phew!

| The mason left us a little escape hatch so that if we ever needed to crawl out of our basement bedroom windows, we could do so. It will be closed in at a later time. |

| Goodbye to a full dumpster, hello to a new one... |
 |
| Eek! The laundry room is dusty! |
