Phase One - Week of 6/30/08 - Here is a picture of "our guys," Carl & Uncle Dick, putting in our footers. They didn't know I was going to show up to take pictures, otherwise I am sure they would have kept their shirts on. I told Norman it was OK, that their pecs were almost as good as his, so it wasn't overly offensive. The Building Inspector came out yesterday to inspect the foundation after the re bar was put in. We weren't too worried as our foundation contractor has NEVER failed an inspection yet, according to the two guys doing the actual work. This week work on the foundation will continue with the concrete for the footers being poured, then the block work begins. Our block work guy, Gib, came out today to take final measurements for block. Our driveway and waterline guy, Terry, was also out. He moved one of our spigots to a more convenient location (our builder said it was in the way of the log trucks, what did we know). He also worked on the driveway, smoothing it out and dumping several loads of gravel. He should be through sometime tomorrow. I was there most of the day basically cutting roots that were in the driveway and raking up sticks and twigs. I also talked to our closest neighbor, John, about his dog Peehead (yes, his real name). Our construction guys love Peehead, who likes to follow them around and help them dig holes, but they were worried he would get into their fresh concrete. P.S. I WANT TO SEE SOME CONSTRUCTION FEMALES (SIGH). OH, WELL. MAYBE WOMEN ARE JUST MEANT TO BE BOSSES LIKE ME...
