I can't get over how nicely they dove-tail joined the footer beam (to
lengthen it).... Another builder might have discarded the 2 pieces in
favor of a longer one, or worse, bolted them together with steel
plates, then felt compelled to hide it under a facade.  Amazing
craftsmanship; truly a thing of beauty.  (I think I'll go polish my
lugs at lunch time.... thanks, Marty).
