Our First Day of Framing

Our foundation was truly finished last week. The concrete has been tarred, and we have our garage slab. We also got power to our temporary power pole this week, which will allow our crew to plug in their power tools. Our septic tank was installed on Monday. Just look at the sun shining off of our brand new concrete slab!






Yesterday it rained. Not a torrential downpour, mind you, but a continuous light rain that aggravated the stew out of us. It succeeded in providing us with an additional inch and a half of thick, sucking mud. Today, however, was a perfect day . . . and we began the framing process! The kids loved watching the men build the walls on the ground, then simply raise them into place. I loved seeing how well it was coming together! When we left around 4:30 this afternoon, our crew was still working.
