Buildin' on up!

Yes, we are still building a new house...just haven't had a lot of time to post a new message. The basement is done, the first level floor is down and the walls are up, now we are just waiting for the rafters. Once they arrive we will back in business and scurrying around to get it buttoned up. The snowfall the other day was not real promising that the weather will hold out until the house it closed up, but we are sure hoping it will. Stay tuned for more pics soon!




Eventually the garage


First level floor

The Basement!

Once the blocks were laid and the doors and windows were boxed out it was time for concrete...lots of it. Matt pumped 50 yds. into the walls. As Matt walked the perimeter pumping in the concrete the other guys helping out were watching for blow-outs, using rods to push the concrete down into the depths of the walls, checking to make sure things were level, etc. It was quite the process.








The hose used to pump the concrete into the walls.

The Hole!

Matt is very busy...between being a dad (a husband too:), working the farm, and building a house he is certainly spreading himself thin. He excavated the hole in about a week and started to lay the Logix blocks. This took some time, especially since he made sure the blocks were perfect. The pics give you a good idea of the shape of the house.
