This slab is going nowhere.

The slab of the house and the storage area were poured. The depression in the slab is for areas of gravel that will be inside the house under the open stairway.

{Aug 16} Termite mesh is put on...

...and all the crews tie up loose ends before the slab is poured.

It's Ready to Pour!

We walked the site last night with Frank to make sure everything was in order for the pouring of the concrete today. The electricians were there late putting in the electrical conduits that were needed in the slab. I will be heading out to the site in a bit to watch the concrete pour and make sure the termite mesh is put in. Frank says the block should start to go up on monday and the footings for the perimeter walls and steel columns will start tomorrow.

Rebar goes down.

Plumbing Changes.

The location of the sink was moved to adjust to the kitchen island changes. And apparently one of the neighbors put in a new toilet, cause we are definitely not at that stage yet. Everyone's trash comes out when there is a construction site nearby.

HOW COMFORTING...

How comforting to work with such great architects. Erick and Caro are so patient and knowledgeable. They have been such a blessing. They are very energetic and never tire when faced with our indecision.
Today we looked at different siding for the home. I think we have chosen well. The combination of metal, stucco and wood will be modern and interesting. Can't wait to see it!
