The Sun Came Out

Two post in one busy, busy day. We just wanted to say how thankful we are to have such a great crew working on our house. Everyone and I mean everyone is dedicated to doing the job properly, safely and with pride. I'm on site every day and I check for things that other builders might cover up or cut corners on, can't find any. If I have a question they always take the time to explain how and when it will be done.

So after a full morning of pouring concrete, the sun appeared and Mary and I joined in the fun. Nothing so satisfying as getting your hands dirty as the walls go up. Great excuse for Mary to get a manicure tomorrow.

Sometimes we had to stop and make adjustments (repairs) as the concrete was poured.

Once the concrete was under the sill, Jeff and Kent braced the upright so nothing would collapse.

There's a happy worker; Dave catches his breath while we wait for another truck.

Even Mary got into the act; lefties seem very good at concrete work.

Look at the concentration and what an excellent job.

Working hard but still smiling.

Another successful day and we are one step closer to being finished.

Thanks again for a successful day.
