The Cooktop

Sunday, October 28th, 2007

This is the cooktop we purchased back in July. It only has four burners, but that is okay as a fifth burner requires a larger chunk of countertop. The oven is all wrapped and packaged up so I do not have a good picture of that yet.

Misunderstanding?

Sunday, October 28th, 2007

A number of our visitors state they see pictures of the lot but none of the basement. Ummm, photographs of the basement and foundation are included.
The first picture is looking from outside the foundation into what will be our basement. You can see the walls and gravel. Shortly, drains and other items will be […]

Backfill Complete!

Sunday, October 28th, 2007

This picture illustrates our foundation walls prior to the backfilling. You are looking at the side of the house facing Spring Rd. and in particular the entrance porch. The foundation walls are poured, the forms are stripped and removed from the site, and the concrete is curing. At this moment it is a waiting […]

Wanted!

Sunday, October 28th, 2007

Have you seen this person? Anyway, Lorie poses with our address sign. A number of people commenting on the previous shot of Lorie with the address sign indicate she looked like a prisoner, so we oblige and go all out on it!

The Stars

Sunday, October 21st, 2007

Are the subcontractors. However, I have one problem with the lot of them: they do not have webpages I can link to!
So far Circle S from Navarino, Bayland Excavating, and John Skotzke Concrete have performed work on this project. None of those three outfits have websites but do show up in various listings.

Curing

Sunday, October 21st, 2007

The foundation and basement walls are set. Yesterday was a beautiful day and we are ready to move forward with the work but for one thing. The weather.
We have been getting a fair amount of rain and the rain is holding us back from putting the roof drain system and getting the backfilling done.
I […]

Rework
