We got the pour done bringing our walls to 8' finish, they are now starting on the next four feet of wall height. Sorry no pics of this last pour, I was at home waiting on our mattress to be delivered, while Mary was helping with the concrete, no second pair of hands to take pics.


The bracing is still in place, the anchoring bolts for the windows and doors are in, each block will then need carved out and fitted accurately tricky stuff, after this layer of difficult carvings the last two layers should go real fast.



Thanks to all the rain, about 3 1/4" from one storm, we now have beach front property. It went up a few more inches since this picture. and this was a gentle flood, wait til late winter early spring, it will be up two to three more feet, on average, could go up to almost five more feet.



Here is D's sand box, in this pic, the flood waters are actually higher than the floor of the pit, this didn't last too long, a couple of hours later we went back and it was inundated. But it was cool to be standing on dry ground two feet below water. Riley of course loves water, this is a gentle flood, during the big ones, it is flowing strongly past where she is standing.



Here is a view of the house from the sand pit.

This is as the house looked two days before the pour. I do not recall what I was pointing at, nor did I know I was being filmed either. Note the ever-present shorts, a year round phenomenon.
