Week Six

Angela with our first houseguest: an adorable little dog that wandered onto the site.

Looking from the garage into the bathroom and then the master bedroom. The steel structure in the front will eventually be inside of a poured-concrete column.

Harvey measuring the height that the next row of blocks needs to reach. His hat may not be straight, but his angles are.

Harvey demonstrating how to place a block. You first need to thread the steel column through the hole.

Thursday, May 1, 2008. (Yes, they were working on Labor Day. It was because a few other days this week, it rained and they had to quit early. The contractor had to pay them double for working on a holiday, though.)

The workers laying blocks on the rising walls of the garage.

A view from the other side of the house. The room in the front and on the right will be the guest room. If you come, we'll hospitalitize the hell out of you!

That's it for today. I'm hoping to somehow make a copy of the floorplan (or even draw one) so that the fans of this site (hi ma!) can have a look at it. Until then, though, have a good one!
