The new addition is taking shape, inspection in the morning and pouring concrete tomorrow afternoon. It took Oscar and the guys almost two days to dig the foundation, really good, compact dirt, no worries about the foundation or house settling.  The only major concern is the concrete truck bumping into Melissa's tree.  Oscar took great care to measure the height and talk with the concrete company to make sure it would all work out.  He didn't want to have to pack up and move to Texas taking Brent the contractor with him.  Everyone knows that if Mel's Maple gets hurt, we better all take cover.  I must admit that is a very nice tree and will be a prominent figure in the landscape.
