September 15, 2010 Just a bunch of concrete work.

I wasn't too good a taking pictures for a few days. I guess flat concrete in the basement and the garage just isn't too exciting. But, some of you might get a kick out of this. The engineering called for 3 deck footings. Look closely. Just to give you a reference, this footing was 4'x6' with a 2'-6" x 2'-6" pillar and then another one that was at least 8"x8". I just used a 10" sonitube. Crazy huh?

Back to the house. Nothing too exciting. Letting the concrete cure and doing the waterproofing.

A few summer pictures

Here we are at a Bee's game.

We learned that little Tank can't get enough corn on the cob.

The girls found a disabled dragon fly... or did they disable it?

Hill AFB Museum

Back in April, we went to the Hill Air Force Museum. Even for a museum, the kids had a blast.

No Kass, she was too busy hanging out with Breckley.

Ady and Kendyl off to Pre-School

What will Amy do with only one kid for a whole 2 hours twice a week?

Wow. Kendyl already going to preschool. She and Ady had a ball today. Lucy Bouck is in their class. They love their teachers. I'm sure one of them will be able to get Kendyl to learn her letters and numbers. She is a very smart girl, but just not interested in paying attention. Ady, on the flip side, loves to figure things out. She's quite a reader already.

Fun pictures. And, one with all the kids.

Footings

August 24, 2010

So, after a little bit of a goose chase between subs on the footings and foundation, I finally went with Curt's guy and he came the next day. A couple of photos on this one. One from farther away, and one up close. What a cut up footing plan!

Excavation

August 16, 2010

We finally got everything set and started digging today. They started digging on the 16th and were done with the gravel and compaction on the 17th. This is how it looked.
