It's about time!

We have CONCRETE! It's one of the most exciting things that's happened so far! Every task we complete leads to another more exciting task. Next up, framing! Well, amongst other things! Today the basement floor was poured and floated, the garage is prepped for tomorrow with gravel and rebar, and our "Megatron" transformer was installed. Our yard looks like it was on the movie Caddyshack! When they trenched in the electric cables, they did a number on our freshly excavated yard.

The garage should be poured tomorrow (fingers crossed) weather permitting. The weather isn't really getting any better, so hopefully Mother Nature can hold on for us a little while longer!



Our electronic transformer. The well will soon be its neighbor, which will then be followed by plantings...lots of plantings! :)



OMG - can you believe it! It looks so much bigger with the concrete in. The guys doing the "flat work" as they call it are absolutely artists! Well done!

I guess the burlap helps the concrete dry a bit more quickly. When I got there today, the guy was standing on top of the concrete, so whatever they use must set-up pretty quickly - with or without burlap!

Here's the 'ol Caddyshack  yard. All signs point to...they're not coming back to fix that. I guess we better get a good landscaper - or a tractor with lots of yard attachments! Who's up for grading?? Anyone?
