Another step on the extension started today, with Don starting the installation of the Uni-piers. He doesn't sound very positive about them, and repeatedly told me that we could have saved money by having something made to size, but we stuck with what the structural engineer said and used the Uni-piers. The idea that the house is supported by tech screws is a little weird I will admit, but they wouldn't make these if they couldn't hold it up. There are 28 of these piers all up for the whole extension with 12 of them just for the little deck, which seems crazy to me. Nathan decided to outsource this task as we don't have a laser level and it seems to be such an important part of the building so we didn't want to risk any error.
I can't believe after all this time, that things are actually moving. I can't wait to have all of the extra storage space that we are building in, and a swing on the deck will be awesome too. Poor Tucker is going to lose a lot of space though.
