Well, We decided to add an addition to the Palace ct house. This house
is my 6th "fixer-upper"...But this is clearly my most ambitious
project to date ! We have hired out the foundation turnkey, from there its
going to be pretty much just us workers ! We'll have to see how this goes
!!

Foundation (1st Choice Concrete)
Ground break 3/8/2006 To achieve the 8ft ceiling height we had to undermine the existing footing. This resulted in a HUGE support wall |
