Week in review

Day 24... forms come down to reveal REAL LIVE WALLS! :)  This is the view looking at the side of the house towards the garage.
 This is the opposite side of the house into the basement.


 Our bunker located under the front porch.  We're having it cemented in with access from the basement to use in case we have tornadoes... or you know... zombies. ;)  There were far too many times I was under the stairs with the girls... on a slab.  With the rock that we have under ground around this bad boy... we're not going anywhere. :)
 Day 25... the waterproofing is completed.  This is looking towards the front of the house at the front porch.
 Garage side.
 Back.
 Opposite side of garage into the basement.

 Day 27... last Friday.  LUMBER!
 Dirt has been back filled into the garage and around the perimeter of the house.


Today would have been Day 28, however, RAIN... and rain is coming our way again tomorrow.  Hopefully framing will begin Wednesday! :)
