Progress to date

Starting to look like more like a house. 

A sign of things to come

Giant stacks of lumber arrived today in anticipation the framing will start soon.

Some of the back filling is done now.

Finally

Finally the basement is getting poured.

Just in time for more rain to come.

Because of all the rain and snow we are now almost four weeks behind schedule.

Your kidding me right

Sorry for no posts but nothing has really happened since the basement was dug. They came and poured the footings. And now this. I decided to post video to get a better effect. But after watching the video I still don't think the full horror comes through the camera. Anyways enjoy.

The forecast today is for wind gusting to 90 Km/hr. Just hope we don't blow away. Also the power is off and on which means no satellite or internet. Everyone should have the adventure of living in their holiday trailer at least once in their life.

Big piles of dirt

Equals one basement.

It is rumored that tomorrow footing will be poured.

Going, Going, Gone

Today was moving day for our house. 

The hill looks so bare without the house there.

Turns out the movers miss calculated the high of the house and applied for the wrong moving permits. So the house is going to stay in our hay yard for the next week or So.

As you can see the weather was perfect for moving and making mud.

Fireplace and chandelier

Below is the fireplace we built in a previous house. We are planning to build something similar in the new house.

I bought this chandelier about five years ago. When we moved from your house on the Highwood river to the current small house I had nowhere to hang it. So for the past almost four years it has been living in my mom's garage all wrapped up nicely. When I first saw it I knew I had to have it.

This picture does not do it justice. It is massive and really detailed.
