simpsons movie is awesome, very funny, go see if you can, its worth it

i agree, no money should exchange hands if mr axe gives the ticket away thats fine but you shouldnt accept money like that, sorry thats how i see it, but do what you want, i can see his point of view but hell, joe could have had a silent auction or something like that, i dont think the spirit of the contest was to make anyone money but whatever.... :( this was a giveaway to the lucky fans, not for just the rich, you just had to get there somehow

Well folks, I would love to go see Joe on one of those dates but heres the reason why I can't go

They sadly known for a few years that the foundations been cracking and the walls and the floors were definately showing it.

Had an engineer come out and figure out how to repair it. They had to have a company dig holes and set these hydraulic steel piers into the bed rock below and jack the house up so it was all level again.

Heres a few pictures of the current work being done.

A war zone around Mums and Dads House

Now they got it all jacked up and leveled, the floors and all the furniture have to come out now, they come back in 2 weeks once its all settled back into place, they seal what lil of the cracks are left, the cover the floor in this slip epoxy stuff and then my mom wants pergo hardwood type floors laid over it, no more carpet.... but in the end it will all be nice and the house should be more solid than any house in this area....

its crazy i wish I had been over here when they used the machine to drive these things into the bedrock below, my mom said it was loud and noisy, my kinda stuff it also jacked up the plumbing so my dad and I had to remove one toilet and replace some piping there, luckily the tub and other bathroom all share that wall and we only had to remove one to get to the busted pipe, just the start of one drywall patch, many more to go ugggh i hate drywall

the fun really begins though when we move all this crap out of here into a storage shed next week so they can seal up all the cracks, lay the expoy and then lay the floors, then we move it all back in, like moving into a new house without acutally moving ugggh

crazy, anyone else ever had to deal with this before????

my dads so funny, hes like always asking the guys find any buried treasure, oil, diamonds or gold down there, mummies, anything of value? if only they could be so lucky right?

So yep, Ill probably be sporting my portable DVD player back and forth while we move stuff. Just probably not a great idea to leave for a few days in the middle of all of this. Uggghh

Thanks for looking and the read. Sorry Joe, gonna miss ya dearly but you can see Im compelled to help my parents out, they been good parents and one day this house might be mine so gotta look out for my future too ya know.

Hi everyone, hope your having fun, Im definately not today :(

sidenote, gruska, thats fine sir, good to know your not trying to steal joes sales, god knows I can't wait for this CD/DVD to arrive by the BBT since I obviously can't go see one of the Anniversary Shows :(

in case anyone was wondering

Steel beams holding up my Mums and Dads house now

Theres 25 of these assembled pipes now holding my parents house up, they had to drive each section which is a a foot and a half down 45 feet to bedrock, so theres about 30 of those individual pipes supporting the house, they use the house as a backstop and a hydraulic jack and drive em down one by one as they go, then they use another jack and jack up the house once on bedrock to shim up that top part and level it all out, interesting stuff, i wish I had been here the day the did all of that, oh well, I wasn't

I only caught the last bit, still interesting to me though

house ain't going anywhere
