Sunday was gorgeous. We spent some quality time at the property doing ... well, rednecking it up, as T says. This project we will list in our "101 Things to Build with Pallets" handbook someday. Unfortunately, I don't have pictures of the final product.
But anyway, the house looked like this:
The concrete people pulled the forms off of the footings on Friday. Monday poured with rain, so basement walls were postponed until yesterday. I was a bit bummed, A and I were going to hang at the homestead while T and K went to an extra swim lesson. But alas, we had a lazy day at home instead (probably greatly needed, if i was to be honest with myself).

Yesterday T arrived at the property to feed at night and was met with an alarm. The basement wall, now poured, appeared much taller than the 8' that we were planning on. Measurements in multiple areas confirmed his suspicions: The basement wall was 9' tall. Huh.
Today:
(I can not wait to live out here!!!)
Fabulous weather! The girls traipsed along as we met with Adam, the concrete guy, this morning - at 8 am. Let me tell ya, the time change has not been nice to us and 8 came early! We talked about our options with this now tall wall. This change of plans is currently frustrating, but in the end we pray (and are sure) that it will be a blessing.
Once the girls woke up a bit more they couldn't stay inside - the weather was great! Later we drove back out to the property to meet with the plumbing and mechanical guys. We are truly working with great groups of people.

The Root Cellar!!! (yay!)
We're waiting on the weather to determine tomorrow's plans. If all is quiet tonight and tomorrow, the rough plumbing will be completed by tomorrow night as well as exterior pea stone and tile. The interior will be completed Friday, we'll insulate the basement over the weekend, set PEX tubing Monday, and pour the basement floor Tuesday. (all plans subject to change!)
