ALL WET

Here we go again with all the rain!

However we did get the windows and doors sized right, and the window and door bucks are in the shop out of the rain. If the rain stops, hopefully we can pour the cement mid next week, then we can start on the next level.



And since Mother Nature has decided that it should rain this week, we have wrapped up the house as best we can to weather the storms. There is an inch to six inches of mud all over the place, thanks to two inches of rain.

I think we will put sand around the outside of the house, and till it into the soil when we are ready to plant grass, since the inside of the house isn't nearly as soggy as the outside, and the only difference is there is sand on the inside.

Day one and day two - Footings, and Electricity

We are progressing far faster than I ever imagined.

We got the footings dug on Monday 8-31-09 as well as
the lower courses of TechBlock delivered to the site

D'Artagnon is inspecting the trenches.

Can't seem to keep the kid out of the trenches,
not that I was trying.



Day 2! We started pouring the footings.

Ah the footings getting poured, and the power company
in the background getting our electrical service buried.

The second cement truck arriving, You can barely see the
transformer and the temp-pole going in as well.
