The moment I realized there was no turning back was not when they poured the concrete cap and bolted down the 1 ton tornado shelter. The moment was when I took this photo. I am standing inside the garage noticing that we can no longer drive anything into this space because of the new stem wall. The photo below is the stem wall from the outside. Our ingenious contractor rigged the garage door so it's still usable making it easy for them to bring in equipment and supplies.
We plan to install a 4'x6' window that matches the one on the other end the house and landscape in front of this area.
P.S. This week our contractor installed our new side door. It is WAY cool, though we discovered we'll need to adjust the height of the original steps. The rise from top step into the house is 6" higher than standard. A bit of a hazard.
