We are not quite to the beautiful stage yet on this project. It'll be a while... Sean rented himself a digger thing. (Yes, I'm sure it has a more professional name than digger thing and our three year old probably knows it.) Anywho - Sean dug out around the lousy partially caved in, ant infested block foundation.
As an added bonus, he dug up turf beside the garden to double it in size for me. The extra turf filled in the endless Great Dane puppy diggin' ankle twisting holes.
As I mentioned, besides the carpenter ants, the fact that the yard sloped toward the house in this area, water got into the block foundation, froze, and pushed it out of place. Sean is debating getting a masonry estimate or doing it himself. Knowing Sean , I'm thinking he'll do it himself...As a happy P.S. we got our house inspection fee returned to us since all this was missed in the inspection.

That's great that you got the inspection fee back, you certainly sound as if you both deserve it. That's awesome that Sean is so motivated to teach himself how to do things and then DO them. I've learned that this a characteristic that many men in our generation are missing. I'm sure it helps motivate him that you are always quick to be grateful and encourage him often!
Can we dig it Hagarty Family? YES WE CAN!
