First catastrophe...

Everything was going so smoothly until our first garage wall fell. So sad! Russ and Matt were busy trying to get the wall up and it took a turn for the worst... Literally. The wall crashed on the backhoe, and broke several places. Oh well.



We learned something tonight - (that is the best way to look at it I guess) - we didn't have enough people helping and we shouldn't have built the wall so long. We will know for next time! At least no one got hurt in the process. Now looking back on the situation, it reminds me of a cartoon! You know when the wall falls down and the cartoon character is left there standing alone. Well, that is exactly what happened tonight!



Russ and Matt working hard!






Wall is almost finished and ready to go up!



Notice the wall isn't on the concrete anymore... It fell. :(




And broke into 3 pieces. Catastrophe 1 - Check.
