Last week was a big week for changes, although they are mostly not too interesting to show in pictures. We "grouted," as it is called, meaning we poured
concrete into the first 8' of walls. The structure looks a lot like it did at the end of last week,
but the feel is completely different. Solid as a rock now, you might say.
The process was smooth. No major mishaps and things went pretty well how I had
organized them. (Except for an underestimation of the amount of concrete to order,
but they gladly sent another truck up with more.)
Now we need to make quick work of waterproofing the outside, which sebastian is doing nearly snglehandedly. I am framing the floor
and when all that's done we'll install drainage and backfill so that we can get moving up another layer from the first floor to the first floor roof! That's the short post for now. Gotto keep moving!

Beatrice!! Nice work! I looked for the post Sunday evening and began my ethnic mother worry thing. I am glad to see things are coming along. Is that a door in one of the pictures?!? This is exciting. It looks like a house! I wish i could see it in real time. A house building project keeps one from listening to npr ratchet up anxiety over the latest wall street crisis. Writing a real email this week is on the list...l,cyn
