Sorry been a bit manic last few days. Am now in UK "en route" to Geneva so will take a few minutes befire heading to bed to bring you up to speed on the build. Particularly keen to post a blog as things are moving at quite a pace, so I want to share the excitement with you.
Friday April 30th - The township inspector and our independent inspector went to check out work to date before back filling could commence. Build was passed with just a couple of minor amendments and back filling went ahead. No basement walls visible now - except where there are windows of course!Monday May 3rd - after a hot weekend followed by a huge storm Sunday night the earth was just too wet to shift around for regradin. Consequently, all was quiet despite the sunshine.
Tuesday May 4th - a lot of earth was shifted on the lot and lumber delivered for the framing.
Wed May 5th - Framing started. Amish craftsmen doing the framing. When I was there the front of the house was being framed..stood in the front doorway and took photos. Grading of the lot continues.Thursday 6th - despite what I have told the children over the years I cannot really be in 2 places at one time!! Yet as if by magic ..here I am in England posting photos of progres on the house today. "Big brother"..or sister in my case.. is watching!!
Wow! Things are moving quickly! It's exciting to see the frame up!! Thanks for sending us updates Mum xxx
