Day 35 & 36

June 18 & 19th

    Today Al Hyslop and his crew came and poured the garage floor (seen above)     and the basement/subgarage floor.  They do super work.  Dad said the concrete started arriving at quarter to nine and they had it all out (just had to "finish" it) by 11:00 a.m. or so.  That's AWESOME.     This is the garage floor - there is a large drain in the center that the floor slopes toward.  Perfect to be able to wash your car, even in the winter!     When Rich & I got there we helped to layout the walls in the basement.  You can see the blue chalk lines in the photos above (and below).     Now all the pipes make sense.   We modified our floor plan a tad bit, but over all its basically the same.  Tomorrow we will be putting up the walls.  The electrician will be back on Monday to finish his rough wiring, then we can get it approved and be moving on to insulating and drywalling.     Dad drove the crane home tonight, since we no longer need it.  Long slow ride.     This is what you see of the house at present from the road in front of our driveway.  Coming S on Rochester road from Dryden, you see almost nothing.  Coming N on Rochester from Leonard you see a lot more, since there is a hill sloping down and our house is on a hill.   Tuesday this week the Hyslops are coming back to do the patio, the driveway apron and (i'm not certain on this) the front porch.   I'd say we are moving along pretty well, wouldn't you??   Day One - May 12 Day Two - May 13 Day Three - May 14 Day Four - May 15 Day Five - May 16 Day Six - May 17 - NOTHING (no work done) Day Seven - May 18 - NO PHOTOS Day Eight - May 19 Day Nine - May 20 Day Ten - May 21 Day Eleven - May 22 Day Twelve - May 23 (May 24-25th Vacation - days won't count) Day Thirteen - May 26th -& Day Fourteen - May 27th NO PHOTOS Day Fifteen - May 28th Day Sixteen - May 29th Day Seventeen - May 30th Day Eighteen - May 31st Day Nineteen - June 1st Day Twenty - June 2nd Day Twenty One - June 3rd Day Twenty Two - June 4th Day Twenty Three - June 5th Day Twenty Four - June 6th Day Twenty Five - June 7th Day Twenty Six - June 8th Day Twenty Seven - June 9th Day Twenty Eight - June 10th Day Twenty Nine - June 11th - News/No Photos Day Thirty - June 12th - CONSUMER ALERT Day Thirty One - June 13th Day Thirty Two - June 14th Day Thirty Three thru Thirty Five - June 15th to June 17th Day 36 & Day 37-June 18th & 19th   We've begun buying tile and have our carpet picked out:  INTERIOR   If you haven't looked at the plans... go here:  PLANS
