A tire fails on the carrier transporting the rear piece (the front piece also had a tire failure).
A close-up of one of the front piece carrier’s axle that bent from the strain placed upon it while being backed up the street to the construction site.
A view from the garage side as the lonely set rear piece waits for its front piece “house-mate”. Looking through the left garage opening, you can see one of the jacks used to support the track that will allow the front piece to be rolled into its position over the basement.
A view of the final result before we departed for our current home on May 20th.
The rear piece as it nears the end of its three mile climb to the top of The Summit on US-40 east.
The front piece squeezes through tight quarters as it fights its way through the soft ground of the driveway. The Case excavator pulls while the tow vehicle (mostly hidden) pushes. The combination has momentarily stopped while a worker places a mat ahead of the tires for them to roll over and help keep them from sinking into the ground.
Almost a wedding: The “Marriage Wall” of the front piece (left) just before it permanently “kisses” the "Marriage Wall” of the already set rear piece.
Still got to watch that first step coming out of the front door. It’s a doozy!
