October is off to a good start!




After being away for almost a week, we were pleasantly surprised upon our first visit back to the land. The walls are going up and most of them should be erected by the end of this week. Today Tim placed the styrofoam forms (ICFs) for our concrete closet - my "safe room" from tornadoes, since we have no basement. (You can see that in the photo - the white walls.) Currently the first floor of the West side of the house and most of the North side are up, as well as the South facing dining room wall.

The plan is to have our garage floor, the master closet walls, porch floor, exterior entry, and living room steps all poured with concrete this Thursday. It's very exciting to have something to look at finally - and even more fun to walk around and picture the final product in our minds.
