Natalee Case Discussion #745 3/25 - 4/4/08

[Blue Moon]

Has OceanEx been heard from lately?  Hope we didn't scare him off.

Also, have we heard nothing yet from the Dutch lawyer for Beth?

Appears NOTHING is being discussed lately. Very interesting it has gone dead silent.

  Klaas, you can delete my post, me thinks it was irrelevant.  I promise I will get used to posting "appropriately"!!

I've been lurking tonight at other forums and there is a lot of bashing going on.  I actually think these people are going to bash each other to death>>>> it is hilarious!

In the meantime, I love these smiley faces -- too cute!

No it's good information even if it is old.  Nice to have it reposted.

Yeah almost like the calm before the Aruba BS storm.

It was pretty bad for a couple days when the bobcat was in the house.  Diesel fuel is not my favorite room deodorizer, LOL

I agree with the lady monkey in the yellow hat.  It reminds us how it all started.

Klaas ... I am in the musing thread talking to myself while the dialogue regarding the construction at your home is going on here.  Story of my life.  I will repost.

Klaas ... why is a new foundation necessary?  Will your house have another level once the foundation is poured?  How long is the job going to take?

We built our house 35 years ago and ... we said "never again" as far as any construction.  I am sure our 43 marriage and ... my sanity would not survive.  We (hubby lol) paint the inside of our home every five years and ... have changed carpets twice.  We may have to bow and ... change our bathroom fixtures but ... that is it.  Our grown kids keep encouraging us to remodel ... they claim the look is outdated ... too 70ish.  No way!  They can do it when their dad and I are pushing up daisies.

I should be banned for being off topic here but since nothing is happening in the case here goes.

The new foundation is necessary because we had cracks in our slab and in our walls because the ground shifted.  We found out that we had a couple of hot water pinhole leaks.  We had been checking our water meter and it didn't appear to be moving so we were surprised about the leaks.  Most of the homes up here have foundation problems.  If they aren't fixed right cracks reappear right away.

We live on top of a hill. When these homes were built in 1964 the builder cheated on the slabs and didn't add rebar also the slab was only about 2-3 inches thick.  To eliminate the problem so we wouldn't be fixing the slab every 5-10 years we decided to do it right.  Right means putting in caissons and reinforcing the foundation.  There will be 8 caissons in the house and 2 outside the house that will all tie into the foundation for stability. 

While we have everything all torn up we are going to redo the fireplace. 

Luckily, at night I'm able to come out to the dining area where my PC is and I'm not cooped up in the back rooms.  When I'm back there my husband and I are in a small 11x11 bedroom turned family room with our 42inch plasma and my laptop hooked up .  Another thing I'm lucky about is my husband is one of the most easy going guys in the world and we rarely disagree. 

We don't plan on doing this again but that's exactly why we are doing it the right way now.  The goal is to have a brand new inside of the house by July 4th when we have our party here.  Then we can work on the outside

Hey ... I know it will all be worth it in the end ... it is just the in-between that would drive me nuts.

Thanks Klaas.

At this point could you add a basement if you wanted or would the whole house cave in?

PS  Please don't ban yourself.
