Walls falling down!

We arrived at the house Sunday morning and to our slight suprise and then increased worry - we found the back right hand wall - where the new fire wall will be - had fallen down into the foundation. Not too much of a problem - because it was coming down anyway - and probably saved the guys a little hard work. But - falling into the foundation, and taking out some of the supports on the way down - was a slight worry. We feared the soil holding the house next door up would start crumbling away - risking their house, or the back room flooring of our house would collapse. We called Eduardo - he came and checked - and seemed to think it was fine. Fine! So we got on with our day and tried not to think about it!

Said wall - before it fell down

Looking down - supports holding soil back - and foundation

Looks like its hanging in space - but there are supports holding the wall up!

What we found on sunday morning. Wall down, in Foundation.

Corncerned about our neighbours 'foundation' - hoping soil doesn't keep crumbling away now the supports were squashed.

View from below - of the wall which fell through into the foundation!
