Well,  the good news is that your toiling constructors seem to have regained their health.  The not so good news is that the notorious Willamette Valley rains have come our way and it's a pain in the tush to work all wet.  These photos were actually taken on a say that it rained little... but you get the idea none the less.

Soggy now,  will be a sweet dining room window seat one day: 

 But,  we got a lot done and are hoping to get our progress "set in concrete" with a pour later this week.  In preparation for that,  we did a lot of straightneing of walls this past week -- tweaking them into a position that they will hopefully stay in,  when the weight of the concrete gets moving through them.  See the "kickers" in these two pics:  

The major piece left to do before we can pour is to construct the forms for several "lintels" which are essentially concrete beams that will be cast in place so that the walls of the upper floor can go above even where we have large openings below,  such as between the living room and dining room.  Here's as far as we got by close of day Friday,  on the first one:

The pictures I took this week are terribly chaotic looking.  THere's a lot going on in there now,  and the wet and shiney just makes it harder to see in pictures,  but there is a real feel of enclosure happening,  though roof and dry are still a long way away.

That doesn't stop it from feeling like home to a few people and creatures here on the ridge top we call Spyhop:
