Rain, Rain, go away, come again when the roof is on...
It hasn't rained in a long time, and God knows we need it, but not when I'm pouring concrete!!
The first scheduled day of pouring concrete was postponed due to the rain. On the second day, well, it SHOULD have been postponed. But it wasn't... The morning looked terrible, but just before the concrete trucks arrived, there was a good sign!
A beautiful, 180 degree arching rainbow!
This truck was converting rainbows into concrete.
And so it begins....
Homeschool Lesson: House-Building 101.
It wasn't long before it started to rain again...Hard to tell in this picture, but, it's coming DOWN!
Even John, of 3Design, Inc. came by. (with his matching umbrella!) Great pic!
The very next day, Camilo was back to remove the forms....
...and the concrete blocks were being delivered!
Max immediately starts to work.
Ceci immediately starts to govern.
The Leaning Tower of Blocks. Pretty cool, Max!
These block guys move FAST! By the end of the first day, they were just about done... Just one small mistake... they missed a window!
But luckily, I noticed it and brought it to their attention, they quickly corrected it in time (before the morter set!)
Now, we're ready to start forming Tie beams and columns! It suddenly feels like things are moving at lightning speed! But delivery of steel and wood take a few days longer than expected and it takes a few days to get to the next picture...but I took advantage of the few days off and went Camping @ Fisheating Creek. Check out this video!

I guess now is a good time to put up a sign and get a little publicity...before now, people see my signs and think the property is for sale! But now, it LOOKS like a construction site and those types of phone calls don't happen much.
