O & E

Owen and Elias have left their mark on our house.

Starting on the Ceiling

Another huge milestone!

They're forming up the ceiling and getting ready to lay a grid of rebar forms, concrete, and foam blocks. The foam blocks will work as insulation; reducing the amount of concrete, rebar & weight of the structure.

My Little Corner

This is my Favorite corner of the house. The structure shown will support our back deck, creating an exterior hallway from the master bedroom that leads to the old growth trees at the corner of our lot. I imagine one day we'll have it landscaped, terraced, with seating and fountains... even now, it is almost 5 degrees cooler in this corner than anywhere on the lot.

In the heat of the summer... that is huge!

Downstairs Walls are Almost Done

It is safe... I think?

The guys have a way of just getting things done. I like the 1x2 they use here to keep the plank they're working on from breaking! A 1x2 inch piece of wood is the support for a rotted out termite infested 12 foot plank. It works, but I wouldn't try this up in the States.

Making Progress

It is a House
