Of hay field and house

Looking good, mighty good. I just love watching work; I can sit around all day and watch it. One small tip - I'd insulate every pipe in ye place while it's going in. I did that with mine, and wow, sure glad I did that! Hot water from long runs stays warm, no condensate on me pipes, a cheap and easy thing to do while building.

Once the weather stays nice it will really pick up and it will be hard to keep up. Take plenty of pictures of everything, I can't remember how many times a month after our house was finished that I went back and looked at pictures to see where exactly something was inside a wall or wherever, while it's being built you think you'll remember but there is so much going on it's impossible.

Well the ground has finally thawed out enough for the ground to become mud. I mean a lot of mud. The concrete guy brought out a pump truck as the cement trucks where stuck as soon as they left the rock. So now we have basement walls. I'm not sure whats next but I'm sure it involves a butt ton of paperwork. Also I now know where water problems are on the road and how a little rock on the road will need repair after heavy cement trucks go over it. So tomorrow is some road work to fix some problems.

Looks good! The driveway is going to take a beating with all the trucks that will be coming.

I agree on taking plenty of pictures, we also took some video when we built ours in 1994.

You don't know how prophetic your words where man. I've got another two loads of rock coming today to repair the really bad spots...

Also got word that they poured an 8' ceiling instead of the 9' that we where planning on. At least that will save a little money. The contractor is going to triple the footer and that will gain me 4-6 inches of basement height, I hope.

They say framing starts on Wednesday so stay tuned for more pictures if it happens.

Boy, I would be pissed if they made the mistake of 8 foot instead of 9!! My brother had done his basement at 9. Mine happened to be 8. It is a HUGE difference when I see his.
But good luck anyway. Enjoying your build pictures.
