Even though it has slowed things down a little, we wanted to make sure we got it right. We didn't want the chance of having to change the structure once building started. |
In this case, there was nothing else we could come up with. We explored all options, including rebuilding. But most contractors we talked with didn't want to send people in there to work. |
It's been a real blessing because it's nice not have to deal with it. But when there's snow it's also hard to do (street) maintenance. |
Leaving that side in there would have been unsafe. |
The majority of extra time was taken in the planning stages, figuring out what to do and how to do it. |
We had to remove a little more of the end section than we had planned because we ran into some loose brick. |
We were very concerned about the culvert. But once we were presented with the various options, we felt like we had done our due diligence. |
