Dad, this will answer your question about the foundation.
This is before the straps were connected to the house. -
Lucille
So I don’t know how to post things on here. Lets try this again

Lucille and Tommy, That looks great! Congrats on the house.
Are the 2 pieces bolted together? How do they secure it to the foundation?

Lucille
Two words…Super glue. Nah, for the foundation, if you look at the first picture, you will see metal straps sticking up. Actually the inspector dude didn’t like that those metal straps and said they weren’t to code, so he made them drill hole in the foundation and put in “anchor bolts”. They drilled holes in a piece of wood that corresponded with the anchors and straps. They locked the board to the foundations using both of them. As far as bolting them together, there’s like 1,000 bolts holding everything together. About 500 under the house, 500 in the attic and about 500 more inside the house! Oh wait, that’s 1,600, there’s a lot of them!!!
P.S. Tommy typed this and tried to make it sound like me.

Picture of our new house. It came in parts. It was really interesting to see how they put it together. This was done on Thursday. More work will be done on Monday. There will be more to come on what it looks like on the inside.

I listened to the first chapter on audio cassette. Basically what the author did was write down everything his wife said. It seemed important, but for some reason I kept zoning out.

Went to the Arena Football Game
Last weekend I went to the home town arena football game, Pittsburgh Power. Carl and a few other friends were there too, we had a great time until the Power started to loose the game so bad it was obvious they weren’t going to comeback. I tried to take matters into my own hands and help the score some points.
I thought I was doing a good thing helping the team but number 33, “The Sackman,” didn’t think so. Don’t ask how they got that table onto the field so quickly either. The rules for indoor football are complicated and complex. Anyway I was in a real pickle with The Sackman and I wasn’t getting any help from Carl or the other guys.
It didn’t matter that the guys were leaving me high and dry because I was rescued by three damsels without distress. Lucky for me they also happened to be on the field at the same time. By the way don’t even ask what the score to the game is at this point, you’d need two quiditch teams playing on behalf of the power to catchup.
As nice as it was to be rescued by the sparks I needed a way to get out of there. Luckily My trusty steed could sense my need for a getaway and quickly rode up. By this time there were so many other fans on the field I couldn’t even find Carl and the gang. They must have gone back to the club house.
Anyway arena football can be a lot of fun. You should get to a game if you can.

Enjoyed reading your story. I hope you have recovered from any injury. Looks like “the Sackman” had you in a pretty tight hold.

I tried to tell Tommy this rhyme, but I couldn’t remember it all. Norm, could you type it up since you love it??!?

Oh let me help. The kids love this stupid, stupid song and i have to hear it over and over and over and…….Lord have mercy on my sanity.
Little bunny foo foo hopping through the forest, scooping up the field mice and bopping them on the head. Down came the good fairy, and she said ‘little bunny foo foo, I don’t want to see you scooping up the field mice and bopping them on the head. I’ll give you three chances and then I will turn you into a goon!’ (repeat until the final straw). ‘i gave you three chances and now I’ll turn you into a goon! Poof!’ And the moral of the story is: hare today, goon tomorrow.
Now may this song be forever burned into your memory..playing over and over again
