The home of friends who lost everything in the June flood. The Bow river (they are a couple of blocks away from the river) came up under their house and pushed the foundation slab up and flipped it over.
They just got running water and a new furnace installed last week. The Alberta government has decided they aren't eligible for financial help. They can't sell and they can't move.
The foundation walls are braced on the inside and there are jacks keeping the house upright.
