Pouring the concrete into the molds for the foundation walls.
Apparently while watching the concrete dry, dad fell asleep. He had a big day of watching the contractors pour the concrete.
Concrete work is finished, footings and foundation walls complete. Insulation glued to inside of walls, check. Chris also had to paint the outside of the foundation walls with black waterproofing paint. This was the last day that we were able to drive up into the yard. One of our neighbors turned us in for cracking the sidewalk, so the city came out to scold us, and we're no longer allowed to drive up into our own yard. And just to clarify, we didn't break the sidewalk, the excavators that brought in the HUGE front loader to dig the hole, are the ones that broke it! And yes, we are planning to fix it.
Chris and dad, at about 9 pm, admiring their work for the day.
Our friends Chris Goodson and Branton Thompson came over to help Chris and Dad build this week. Monday resulted in joists for the flooring.
Tuesday....we have a super insultated floor, and one wall! Things are beginning to be removed from the existing house, notice the missing gutter, and one side of the door trim. We've decided to leave the remnants of the sprinkler system, for added aesthetic appeal (see bottom right corner PVC popping out of the ground).
