NICE FORM !

Straw Bale Update: Forms were "shored up" on Tuesday to get ready for the pour on Wednesday. What we weren't ready for was the impact of cement falling from the top of the boom of the pumper truck., (some 50 feet). Something like a jackhammer hitting Styrofoam forms can only be trouble...... and it was.... sort of, there were certainly some tense moments and a
few minor problems, but in the end we have the posts poured. That will be the end of concrete trucks and pumpers for a while. This was the most costly day so far as these trucks don't come cheap. Now we can begin the beam work and base plumbing and electrical beneath the slab. Now is the time that we have to choose things like bathtubs as the drains pipes must be positioned to accept anything entering the slab level.
Clay is here for a few days and he will help me get an idea of the sub-grade plumbing layout.


The feral kitten twins continue to entertain us. They have now discovered Sienna's dog bed and have taken it over. Two is making huge strides in becoming accustomed to humans, but won't ever be a family house kitty.... in my opinion. One, on the other hand is as normal as a domestic kitten.
