It's getting there.

I'm not sure if I want to to our the floor next or go on to the framing and get it closed up.

The block work is DONE!!

The weather has sucked....it was like 42 and misty rain last night...which is better than Tuesday that was 38 and actual rain....but it's done. The inspector was out and its approved.

I have a small/medium trackloader for the weekend..takeuchi tl150 so I'll get it back filled and the yard fixed up. Slab maybe next weekend....i need to get some pipes in for a bathroom and I want a heated floor...not sure how long it will take me to get that stuff ready but I really want to keep this moving.

It's 20F this morning...yuck

I need to backfill this weekend but I'm trying to hand A trench for plumbing first...because I'm too cheap to rent an excavator for a 20 feet of digging.....we have a lot of rock and what's not rock is clay, digging is slow going....and it's 20F this morning.

Trenching by hand strenghtens the back / purifies the soul.

... or something.

Maybe best I dug by hand since the propane line and gutter drain are still in tact this way. I rented a hammer drill last night and put some holes in the house foundation (s*ck job), today I'll see if the air hammer can turn the little holes into 1 big hole.

The ground is mostly filled in...I'll make it nicer once the pipes are in

2" of foam, 1/2" rebar on 24" centers, about 1000ft of per, 12 yards of 4500psi concrete with fibers added to get a 4" thick . It's a floor.

The pour was easy, 1st truck went to the back, second to the front, very little manual work. We floated it.....then the rain came. We got about 2" in 5-6 hours.....it was supposed to miss us and go north but I bought a big tarp just in case. The first attempt at a tart tent was a disaster but 2nd attempt worked pretty well and we were able to keep the floor pretty dry and get it finished....but it was about a 14 hour day, mostly in the cold rain.

The lumber was delivered today, framing over the holiday weekend weather permitting
