Good News, Blues Fans

It turns out that the gaping maw (otherwise known as "the hole" or "the cavern") in the basement floor is not a big structural problem. The basement dude came by yesterday to take a look and his verdict was "jam some concrete down in there." You could see he was sorry that he couldn't find some big problem he could fix and bill me for. I wish I'd taken his picture for posterity.

So today I excavated the hole a bit as recommended, and tomorrow I'll be filling it with some concrete. Here's another nearby hole I already patched -- it was nowhere near as big as The Maw.
