Guest Author Day - We Have Walls!

Grandpa & Grandma are visting the Cape, expecting to witness the rising of the walls.

Grrr!!!! Monday – nothing happens. Grrrrrrr!!! Tuesday – nothing happens. Then…..late

Tuesday afternoon, it all begins.

So much is happening all at once – after months of waiting, decisions and delays – Jody is back to school, Natalie is adapting to day-care, Zippy is exhausted from so many walks and runs with Grandma and Grandpa and Anthony is grateful for a job that lets him start work at home and pick up later to head for the office… and … the cement truck is currently pouring the foundation around the pre-existing/non-conforming hole!

Late yesterday afternoon, a large truck with a hoist backed in and lifted the cement forms into place. Being late in the afternoon, we thought that would be it, until we noticed one of the guys with his level and the roll of plans and they began to set the forms. Darkness took over and they quit for the night with 3/4 of one wall up. This morning a crew of 4 showed up and finished the lego-like support structure.

Poised on the edge of the hole, the giant cement truck oozed cement into the forms down long troughs. Very exciting with good views from either bathroom at the rental house next door!
