Two Steps Forward...Then A Fall Out!!!

(Note: House was built in 1970's and never had any rain gutters)

On May 21st, 2008, it began to rain for 3 days. Mom(Cena) and I were in Iowa getting Kt while Carson was home facing a caved in basement. He said he could have cried when he saw it! It truly was overwhelming and discouraging, but Carson had the equipment and a plan and set to work to put the basement back together again!
I have to admit if I had found it first I would have poured kerosene on the place and burned it down!!! I admire Carson for his hard, hard work at setting things right again!
It was a set back in both time and money.

These first 3 pictures are what Carson saw when he drove up to check on the house. I am sure he was in utter disbelief!





The basement wall had caved in, taking dirt, blocks, windows and rain into the house, covering items that were being stored!




The damage was extensive!

Pictures of rebuilding the basement wall:


Carson was able to drive the bobcat right into the basement...which helped tremendously in carrying all the debris out!
