It has been a very exciting few weeks. The addition is moving along and we are seeing real progress.
The forms were laid, leveled, inspected and then we get to….
Pour!
Paul tries to help.
Paul being the frugal guy he is knows there will be extra cement in the delivery truck so he sets himself some forms and gets to finish a bonus project.
Paul is getting to do his project
This guy was so little and so strong. He was pushing cement, helping Paul spread it and Paul was trying to keep up! We were exhausted after pouring our couple of yards of cement. We now have a nice ramp to get into the shed so I can get the mower out and mow the lawn. There is something wrong with that statement! We don’t own a house or a lawn, why am I mowing the lawn? I know, I have more time than the girls do and I need the exercise. The same argument I used when I use to make their lunches for school instead of them doing it themselves! I love being a parent.
After the cement things got kind of slow while the contractor laid the plumbing, reinforced the foundation, getting permits, getting them signed off but then this week things took off again.
The siding is coming off the front, and their is a floor!
Look MA, our house is stripped!
2 walls
walls, windows, doors, it is starting to really look like a room
And so it goes.
