roof started basement poured

So they came this morning and poured the basement floor in.

They also came and tar papered the roof. I think that they were thinking that it would help with all the rain they are calling for this weekend.

The worst part about all this is it seems like they are waiting on the roofers and nothing else can move forward until the roof is done.

Jamie and Mike insist that we will be in to have Thanksgiving in the house but our contract says the 17th of October so we'll see how that goes. I hope they are right. It is hard sometimes in this trailer.

Midnights + 2 kids + dog + one large tin can = one cranky Momma

trying to keep it together. I would not recommend this to anyone!!

We'll manage though it's coming.

And then there were basement walls.....

The guys showed up about 10am this morning. I didn't think the way it was going that we were going to see anyone this week. Needless to say though they did. Once the guys got their stuff unloaded and got down to work it didn't take them long at all. This picture was at 10:20 when they arrived...

This picture was about 10:40am.....This picture was at 11:10am... Walls are up just need supports and outside rail up.

Then the cement pump truck arrived at 12:00pm. And filled all the supports. Tyson thought that was the coolest thing.

They were all very friendly and talked away to the kids who asked tons of questions from the trailer window. The guys thought that they were very funny. Especailly Tyson when the cement truck and cement pump truck arrived and he got his grizzly little voice going..."OH the cement truck" he'd say in his deep wolfy voice.

I was actually amazed at how quickly they finished. They started at 10:30am putting up the framing for the walls. By 2:30 they were all packed up and ready to leave the job. Tools away cement poured the whole bit.

I was shocked! But super glad to see it done!

The Big Dig!!!!

I have to admit it is getting fun to see who is going to be here every morning when we get out of bed. We were barely up five minutes this morning when this big rig pulled up. It didn't take long until he was half way across the hole with it dig out. Less than about 1/2 and hour once he got started. These guys on this big equipment in this little space I have to admit are really impressing me.

About and hour and 20 minutes in....

All done and fenced up waiting for the next person to arrive!

Holy Hannah that hole looks big. It takes up our whole lot from the trailer right to the fence line!

Wonder who's coming next....
