Framing Stage

The Little Man got his legs pricked this evening by those "prickler" plants, B & I will need to whack them as soon as we move to the new property. On a brighter note, the framing is almost done. Also, we saw at least 100 "white birds" (we don't know what they were!)- all sitting in a tree across the river. It was neat to look at, like that entire tree was blooming. :)

Anyways, here's how the house looks now:

Frame's Up!

The first walls were up last week. They're working on the second story and the roof this week. We are happy to say that the framing is very nearly done!

If it's not gonna rain, we'll take pictures tomorrow and post them here.

Slab is Poured!

Wow! Things have really moved forward. The concrete slab is poured and smoothed. We wandered across it, imagining where walls and rooms will be. All very exciting!

The Grid

After the tarp's been installed and secured in place, it was time to lay out the grid for the floor slab. They had the task done yesterday.

B met up with our builder and home inspector at 7am today. By this time tomorrow, we will have the slab poured. Yippy! Hopefully we'll be posting images of the finished concrete slab by the end of the week.

Plumbing and Inspection

After a couple of weeks, the plumbing's finished and has been inspected. It certainly looks complicated (to me, at least), but the Little Man is doing a great job making sure everything's in the right place.

I also took a photo of the river at the back of the property.
