Week Two

Here are some pictures from the second week of our house building. The one above is nice, because it looks like God is perhaps shining holy light down on our workers. Also, it'd be nice if a hit from God appeared on my clustrmap...just a hint.


Here's the next photo for your flipbook. This is from April 3, 2008. Still mainly ditches and blocks.


The septic tank was built the other day. Being from a place that generally has plumbing linked to a sewer system, I must confess that I have no idea how a septic tank works. Or, at least I didn't until yesterday, when Harvey took a good half hour to explain how they work while I got a sunburn. It's OK, though, because knowledge is power.


A view of the foundation trenches where they'll put the steel-reinforced cement. The rooms look really, really tiny when you're just using the ditches as reference, so Angela and I keep freaking out a bit, wondering if we'll be able to fit into our Hobbit House. The coffin-shaped mound to the left of the image, for example, is supposed to be our guest bathroom. I'm wondering how they'll fit a toilet brush in there, let alone a shower...


Another picture for your flip-book. This is from April 5, 2008. In the foreground are Angela and her brother Arnoldo. (Oh, and by the way, you probably figured this out, but if the image is small or crappy, try clicking on it, and you'll be able to see a larger version)
