Skyscraper

This is going to be tall… 20′ sidewalls to be precise, and with a 2:12 pitch roof…

Lift it higher!

I wish i had one of those...

And we finally have window and door openings!

Window openings

A view from the inside.

We have steel…

It was a misty, moisty morning so at this half way mark (noon) we finally have steel.  Can’t wait till it’s vertical!

Steel-ie-span...

But before you go, enjoy this “Misty Moisty Morning” by Steeleye Span

‘Tis bitter sweet as they say.

Good News:

Today they took the forms off, everything looks good.  There is going to be quite a bit of dirt work to do a little later on down the road…i really wish i had a tractor… Ah, well one step at a time, i suppose borrowing one will have to do for now.

doesn't look too different from here

Bad News:

In all, three trees had to come down, two crate myrtles that were older than me, and lastly this guy.  I hate losing trees, for me it’s almost like losing a pet, but alas, we had to remove them.  The other two big ones will have to be trimmed back but i believe we will be able to keep them around.

sad day...

More Good News:

Today i got to walk on the thing so thats pretty cool.

no forms!
