Demolition Derby or Our Foundation Repair Saga

Here is my first video of the foundation repair process.  This is in our kitchen believe it or not. They have to jack hammer through the tile and the slab and then dig down several feet to put in concrete piers which then will then will be pressed further down into the ground several feet more until they hit rock. At least thats how I understand it so far.  They have already dug 11 holes around the outside of the house. Within the first hour of digging on Monday they managed to cut the line to our phones, internet and TV. Not a good thing if you're trying to work from home. Thank heavens for my iPhone! And by the way, it was 28 degrees outside this morning and the heat is off downstairs so that the dust doesn't circulate through the vents throughout the house, which is why the workers are bundled up.   I'll post pictures of the outside later.  Feel free to ask questions and leave comments below this post.
