We've been busy getting the house ready for its addition. The first thing we need to do is remove trees and then get bids on the foundation work. Tomorrow a friend that has a tree removal company is coming over with a crew to help us clear out the area we'll need for the addition.This friend has been very supportive of my endurance cycling. When we were starting out he helped make sure the team could continue to race competitively and for that we're grateful. To make room for removing the trees and get a good idea of a bid on foundation we needed to remove some deck. Here are a couple of before shots.

...and the after...

Just another view of the destruction.

We ended to taking off an area about 4' X 12'. Finn is working hard to get trees ready for removal.

As far as training...it's been mostly running with a bit of trainer mixed in. This time of year I'm pretty slammed with work so training always been sparse at best.

Hammer on!
