Pictures!

I have finally gotten the pictures figured out. (Video will be my next step!) Anyway, here are some pictures of the basement walls going in:

These are the walls sitting on the trailer waiting to go in:

And here is a photo of one being put into place by the crane:

It was incredible to watch them do this! This was a gusty, windy day, also, but that crane operator moved those walls around like it was nothing! They slid right into place, and the guys on the ground guided them right in. The walls lock into each other like puzzle pieces, and the guys on the ground would put a sealant on the end of the wall on the ground just before they placed the next section down. This seal is so strong that if you try to break it just one week later, the wall will crack before the sealant gives way!

OK, here's another one. The basement is in, and the footings for the garage. This is a view of the front of the house. You are seeing the front porch base, and the garage is off to the left of this picture.

Here is a picture of Rebekah looking out her future bedroom window. This girl can't wait to get her own room!

OK, I'll share more pictures later, but this gives you a glimpse at how the basement went in, and what it looks like now.

Later this week, perhaps early next week, the solar folks will be putting in the tubing for the radiant floor heat, and the basement floor will be poured.

I hope you enjoy seeing the progress - it sure is fun to watch this happen!
