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
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!
Wow what a day, it was great, and now we have a foundation to build on!
lets go!
After a little premature start, and dad getting a little upset, the steel is now up and ready to go.
3,2,1, GO!
here's the big picture
first half finished
needs to dry a little more before they get on it
concrete isn't smooth yet
Sign in, don't forget anyone!
Signed in, all there!
complete!
Soon i will be standing in this kitchen.
The day is done, thank you Jesus!
I will leave you with this little poem to accompany this last photo:
The day is done
It surely was fun
Isn’t this a pretty sun
Today is crunch time, because tomorrow at 7am the chaos begins!
Last day of prep before they pour.
Plastic and steel are going down!
