Home Building IV - Concrete

Concrete

Our goal was to get concrete in before the snow started flying.



Boards laid and then concrete footings. November 7, 2019





Mike even got to help!
Then for the form boards for walls..this is the part where it looks more like a structure for the homeless.








Concrete Poured!





Waiting for curing...and finally we get to the dirty part of tarring/waterproofing the basement.





Beautiful (that long black stretch of tar that isn't supposed to be there - yeah that was my bad)!







 Just an early snow, threatening us to know what is coming.  And finally, prepping for the concrete flooring.





 CONCRETE! Dec 11, 2019


 The night the concrete floor got poured, we received snow and more snow.  This was our view for the rest of the winter!  Dec 12, 2019

Quick thoughts

So I'm finally up with the times and have my own blog. You'd think if someone was a "webmaster" that they might be current with a full family history...

Now I'm frantically searching my mind for all those clever things my kids did and all those life changing thoughts that would really help all who read my little blog. Nothing.

Just two quick stories about both kids. Maybe then I can feel at ease knowing that my children's lives are adequately documented.

Jake has always been interested in numbers. He loves to ask random people (fellow shoppers at Wal-Mart, those who happen to stop next to us at a red light, etc) what their address is. Finally Jake discovered his life calling when we went through the Wal-Greens drive thru to pick up a prescription. Jake decided he would like to be the teller asking people for their address to verify their getting the correct prescription. We are in the process of getting him a store job application right now.

Afton has profound moments when I realize just how fast she is growing up. This week she saw a little girl walking with just her mom. She pointed at the little girl and said "Ohhh, that little girl doesn't have a brother." Let's just hope she always appreciates that she has a big brother!
