...but just back to [August 2018] will do for now. I started hashing it all out HERE...
...and left off right hurr, where the silt fence and utility markings were all in place and we were just waiting for the basement guys to bring their shovels over and dig a giant hole.
A week or so later, those guys showed up with their shovels track hoe to mark out the basement...
Brian never missed an opportunity to stop by and marvel...
...and soon he was out there working right alongside the basement guys! [I'm told these are photos of a) preparation to pour the footing and b) installation of form-a-drain...?]
"Look, Simba, everything the light touches is our kingdom..." ...And over there will be your bedroom, and over there, your time out corner.
Woot! All done; ready for rock and then concrete!
But nottttt so fast! *thumbs down* ...A torrential downpour of DAYS of rain brought several setbacks for the general contractor, and poor Daddy spent lots of long hours days out at the slop hole digging trenches and pumping water and OH THE MISERY! When it finally dried out a bit, Uncle Garett and Daddy spent even more evenings scooping mud out where the walls started to cave in. And while they worked? Snacks and claps from Harper -- always.
Next up: basement wall and porch forms!
Annnnnd next after that? Well, walls and basement concrete, of course!
Stay tuned!
