The house rolls offline. . .

Tomorrow! We're looking at a delivery date in the next week or two. Are we ready? No. Will we be by then? Probably ready enough that the house could be set on the foundation, but otherwise, no.

Happy Thanksgiving!

We (once again, mostly Matt) poured the 2nd half of the walls late yesterday. Matt braved the freezing temperatures (around 0 when he finally finished) to get the walls done and covered. I helped a little bit, but I wimped out and went inside. Although we are not close to being done, we only have to set our I-beams across the width of the foundation before the house gets here. Everything else can be done after the house is here, including pouring the basement floor. I still haven't heard when the house will be here, so hopefully we will have a lot more done before then.

Construction

We've been making progress getting ready for the new house. Today, we (well, Matt and his friend Glade) poured the 1st four feet of the basement walls. The house is still expected to be here at the beginning of December-hopefully we'll be ready by then!
