foundations and photos


we have concrete! its looking pretty good, but far from perfect. i thought i would be able to just watch as they did all the work. you know, that's the luxury you have when you are paying for a service. when you go buy tires at a tire shop, they dont have you come out to the garage and help put them on the rims, do they? well, maybe sometimes they do.
i ended up working way WAY more than i expected to on this stuff. was there for two concrete pours, and put in several days of just general helping. they just didn't have enough people to do it alone. and in the end, there are some repairs to be made to get things all up to par. i still hope to have the concrete part of things finished up by the beginning of june, but we'll see. there are still slabs to pour, and the driveway. there are some photos.

(by the way, these photos were provided by Julie Kaufman of starminestudio.com. she'll be shooting throughout the project and providing me with some shots every now and then to keep things up to date. check out her site. thanks Julie!)

ps... 15 days without an argument.

moving right along. I like hearing about the progress you are making. Glad you have made it so many days without an argument, too! At first, I thought you were talking about your wife and not your dad. They say if a marriage can survive building a house, it can survive anything!

Dirt? Piles of rubble? Pouring concrete? Where are the money shots? This blog needs more pics of a bare-chested, sweaty Ken holding power tools.
