Good and Bad

The slab foundation is almost done! last week I ordered 11 cubic yards of base rocks to use as a base for the concrete slab. Mr. Tree, Francisco and one other worker laid down about 3 inches of the rocks, then a sheet of 6 mil plastic vapor barrier on top, then another 2 inches of rocks went on top of that, then the rebar grids laid out in one foot squares. We will be pouring the concrete slab tomorrow, it's going be a long day and it's suppose to rain tomorrow too. We also got the utility room area ready for the concrete foundation. 

This past Sunday, we stopped by the house to show my parents the progress and much to our horror, discovered that someone had broken in over night and stole all the unused electrical wires containing copper in our garage. They also took the bag of scrap copper wires I had stored in the house. The most upsetting part was that they had kicked down both the garage door and front door. We had to take some temporary measures and screw in a piece of plywood to the garage. The front door was not broken like the garage door was, so we did a quick fix to the door frame and was able to lock it up for now. Thankfully, it seemed like they were only interested in the copper and left most everything else alone. We called the cops to make a report, they finally showed 8 hours later...

Garage door broke in half, but door frame is intact. This door was meant to be used as an interior door anyways, that's why it broke so easily.

Front door frame damaged, but the door was fine.
