Starting to look house-like
When I returned from Utah, I took a run to Absarokee to see how things are progressing. More lumber has been delivered. This should be everything we need for the framing of the house, which begins next week. The floor joists are in and ready for the sub-flooring. That will happen early next week. The cement guys poured the garage floor. It was a beautiful day for a cement pour (gentle breeze, cool day, and partly cloudy skies all help to prevent the cement from drying too quickly in this low-humidity climate). And electrical service has been brought to the house in the form of a temporary post. That temporary post will go away when the full electrical panel goes in later in the construction process. Cement work is surprisingly man-power heavy. There were five guys on the ground moving cement and one guy in the truck. They each know their job and as long as cement is pouring, they are moving fast in order to get it where it needs to be before it begins to set.
