Day 8: Captain – there be walls here! July 12, 2013 at 5:10 PM
To misquote Scotty in Star Trek IV: “Captain – there be walls here!” Today they removed the forms, leaving the concrete walls fully exposed. They also sprayed the outside to help prevent cracks and leaks.
Much of the house is layout is now in full view. The garage is clearly visible. Most of the storm shelter is formed – everything except the roof. And BJ’s bedroom window is visible all the way from Faulkner Avenue.
I always thought those brick foundations were made of brick! Huh?!?
Day 7: Walls poured July 11, 2013 at 7:00 PM
Another big milestone today… They completed the wall forms and then poured the concrete. After waiting so long for things to start it seems that we are now moving at warp speed. “Make it so!”
Things also got very real today on the job site with the appearance of the mandatory Port-O-Potty. Now we are in business! So to speak! :-P
