House Update- Week 4



I guess that chia house thing does work. Cause with a little cement, and a little rain, this week our frame appeared. It was like those little mushroom rings that spring up after the rain.






Not only do we have an outside, but this week we also have an inside. Yay! I can actually start to "see" where rooms will be.

House update week 3 :Foundation

I've decided that there must be tiny elves that work on this house during the night, because I have yet to see a crew of workers actually on site when I drive by. But at least we have concrete, despite the fact that our builder swore we would see frames by the weekend. I'll give him a pass this time.
It definitely looks larger with the concrete poured, but I'm a horrible visualizer and can't picture they lay-out quite yet. We've also met the neighbors, who have no blinds on their windows and watched us "walk-thru" the house. My fingers are crossed for good weather and some serious construction this week!

House update -week #2


Last week's pile of dirt has turned into this week's body farm. Thanks to Hurricane Alex, last week saw a greater amount of rain than usual and put a halt on progress. Seems you can't pour concrete when it's raining :( This week's forecast promises to be a bit more cooperative, and may result in framing and *fingers crossed* maybe even a roof!

Does anyone else think "Poltergeist" when they see this picture?
