This is the floor being poured in the basement. This is the coolest truck. I wouldn't mind driving this around town. Here's how it works. First, the sand and gravel is mixed with cement to make concrete. The it is poured into giant rolling barrel trucks to keep it from solidifying. It is then poured into the back of this awesome truck (shown above). The truck funnels it down into the basement pouring the bearing wall footings and basement floor. The driver controls the crane pump as he walks around the site with a large remote control device. (Note: Do see my bike tipped over? Would you believe the wind knocked it over? Crazy, eh?)
Gorgeous! Oh yeah. (It's so smooth, you could have a regular hockey game right here).
Can you guess what this is? Pretty cool picture.
This is the ramp to climb from the ground down through the window into the basement. It turned out to be very handy for moving wood so that we could begin framing the basement walls.
This is our first framed wall in the basement. Proud moment. Of course its the girl's rooms. Ladies first!
All the joists are up! Blood, sweat, and tears. Enough said. The hole in the middle is for the staircase.
Backfilling! We're moving upstairs.
Basement walls finished.
Upstairs floor is on. Finally! We have shade. Take a look at this little blessing outside.
