Dream home will have toilets!!

This just in...plumbing! Hahahahaha...whew I crack myself up.

The rain really worked a number on us this last month and a half. The house pads and the road became so soggy (even with the black topping) that work was really impossible. Finally we had a few days of dry-ish weather after Christmas and Hugh had new road bed hauled in, so progress is being made again. This is the new road...



Here's our house pad. See? All those white pipes sticking up? That's where the bathrooms and sinks go. That's D on the tractor re-working some more road base we had to haul in.


Here's a closer shot of the house pad. The corner up front is the garage. The plumbers are standing in a hall bathroom.


And it was freezing out there. The wind was arctic. I mean I almost didn't get out of the truck to take the pictures, but I sacrificed for you--my wonderful blog readers. I knew you were just so anxious to see pictures of the progress! (Of course these pictures are kind of lame, but it's a little weird to take pictures with the workers out there.)

Speaking of cold--it's going to be a really cold weekend. Today the wind chill was 19. As in degrees Fahrenheit!

So Monday we are scheduled to pour the slab! And Tuesday they are hauling in the ICF (integrated concrete forms). Hopefully the walls will get poured soon also. Here's a site to check out ICF walls if you're not familiar with them.

And guess what else?? I won some blog candy from Nikki at Sealed with a Stamp! If you aren't familiar with her blog, you should check it out! She makes cute creations and throws in a good helping of humor as a bonus!

Thanks for stopping by y'all!
