Caffeinated Results

The Mountain Dew and Red Bull seemed to work. The blueboard is all hung (shown below) and plastered (not shown here). No more walking through walls- the real house has taken its form.

The shelves below the windowsills are a remnant of the thicker concrete walls along the bottom part of the walk-out basement.

Meanwhile the decisions are still flying at us fast and furious. We're keeping up and trying to stay slightly ahead of the game the best we can!

A House With a Moat- Does That Make It a Castle?

Just before the weekend, the foundation people removed the forms and sprayed the exterior with waterproofing. This left an actual basement foundation and walls that we could climb around in, albeit one with a waterless moat around it.

The view from the back of the house. We are sitting in the future back doorway.

The moat actually served to keep Zippy out of the structure. Something he wasn't entirely happy about.
