On August 12, 2002 the construction of our new extension began with a bang. The work was not supposed to begin until the week of the 19th. I was at work, and my wife, Debbie, was taking care of my mother who had just come home from the hospital. The masons called, and left a message, and decided to start work without our go ahead. The interesting part was that ee had bnot even signed a contract with building contractor, so the mason began without any formal approval. To make matters worse, I had contracted with a gardner, Fiore Gardens, to replant the large upswept pine shown in the pre-construction photos. The masons ripped the tree out the ground with a bobcat, and shoved to the side, to bake in the sun all day long.
