I have been working on the foundations still. I am mostly finished now as I have both my north and west foundations completed as well as lances root cellar mostly finished. All I have to do now is his north foundation wall and the eastern wall grade beams. Alas the rain is coming. Thanks to Issac. Everyone be sure to say thank you Issac for slowing things down. I will have to make some kind of rain tent so I can work.
Lance and his brood will be arriving probably on the 6th of sept. Slave labor cannot be overrated. The plan will be to build him a shelter when he arrives and the put up my house all before the end of September. Maybe, hopefully. Thank you for commenting Judy. Glad to hear from you and we will have something for you to do soon. Don't worry. (see slave labor comment above).

It has been a while since anyone has posted. Mostly because everyone is scattered and kind of waiting till September.
As most of you know I am back in Tn. and have retrieved my family from Maine. The trip back here from Colorado was uneventful, I drove straight through in 20 hours. After which I spent 3 lazy days working on various chores on the property, mostly cleanup from the rain storms. I then proceeded by greyhound to Maine where I would meet my family. This leg of my journey took 33 hours, with many stops in various places. I spent the next few days visiting with my family and in laws. We went to the beach, sat in the swing on the porch and had a great time doing nothing at all. Our trip back by car was fairly quick compared to the bus. We drove straight through in 21 hours. We have been in Tn. for 3 weeks now and have been busy as bees in winter. I have finished digging out Lance's root cellar and am currently building the stone walls and foundations for it. It is a hole 6'9 x 7'3. It has a drain that will meet up with the main foundation drain and sits just off the amazing wall you all have seen in the pictures, on the north western wall. I currently have 2 of the walls built and will be starting the eastern wall tomorrow. I hope to have this portion of the foundation finished by the end of the month as this is the next important step to actually building a house. I will have pictures to post as soon as possible. |
