concrete and no fighting...

okay, we're off to a decent enough start. in the past couple of weeks, we have excavated the entire lot, hauled off about $1100 of dirt, and poured the footings. this week we should have foundation walls in and be starting on the drain and sewer connections that will run under the slab.
we're a little over budget at this point, but not too much. i'm trying to decide if anyone cares to see what each bit of the project costs. if so, i'll post the results after each piece is done, so you math fans can add it all up. maybe nobody cares. let me know.
also, sign up for the email list thing so i can let you know when there are new posts. i wont sell your email address to a porn site or anything, i promise. i know there are at least a couple of people out there besides family that are peeking in from time to time.
NEW!!! i love my dad. he's a great guy and without him, we wouldn't be able to get this place built. but he and i dont see eye to eye on alot of this house stuff. and this creates some tension. however, a new leaf is being turned over and we are going to try to get along. today marks 7 consecutive days without an argument. as soon as i figure out how, i'll add a little counter to the site and track how long we can go. (we've already set a record for us at this point...)
pictures later in the week.
