Progress!!!


Good afternoon! Hope everyone had a great day! Thanks for all the positive feedback about the blog! It will be a great memory to have (Vera) and I look forward to updating. I've added several pictures, I will try to caption them all. I know Heath has some on his phone but he is out of town for work, but I will get those as soon as I can and add them to the blog :)

This is a picture of where the front fireplace will be poured, nothing exciting, just walking you through the steps!



The next phase was the concrete pouring, filling those trenches for the foundation. Heath was out there with a group of workers pouring the concrete (22 yards!) and his father sweet Steve showed up to lend a hand. The picture above is of the foundation and Heath inspecting!



This picture was taken from the driveway looking towards the front of the house. The smoke you see in the background is the huge pile of trees burning (intentionally set). Wayne, seen in the first post on the "big machine" piled up all the trees, brush, etc. Heath had to get a burn permit to send this big ol' pile into a blaze. Unfortunately I was out of town, but people from all over came to see the bonfire! It was still burning as of this past Tuesday night (even with all the rain we've had). Better go out before the framing starts next week....

 
Have a good night!
Love,
Caroline

  1. Caroline--we are currently beginning to build a home in Raleigh on Creedmoor road. We are planning ot use Oyster Bay brick and we were wondering if we could drive by your place to look at the brick, mortar etc. If that's agreeable, let me know the address and while we are out this weekend we may try to swing by and take a look. Thanks in advance. Jennifer
