They got the walls all poured and started with the forms on the garage and shop, I'd say they are almost half done those forms. Threaded steel rod is in to anchor the house.  :)

We've been laying around the perimeter tile and back filling today. :)

We put down the pipe for the radon gas testing. I wouldn't know how gas would travel through bedrock, maybe. New regs.

I use to put the same tar on the 4" lip of the footing [inside] let dry. when you pour the floor over it it will make a gasket.  no gas can get in the cellar.

Don't put in a sump pump. ;)

Starting Monday, on which we begin framing, I am doing a 6 week count down to completion on the house. Well, that is what two contractors told me including the one I chose. So we shall see. :) 8)

We have the walk in and sides of the basement all framed now, the first floor trusses and subfloor are down and should have the first floor framed tomorrow with some closure from what we can reach before staging is put up. Photo at the end of the week. :)

Yes for sure, only I think you measure the progress somewhat different because of the finer details. :)

Oh, and the top floor is going to have a 9' ceiling, even in the dormer where the big round top window is. The dormer is 16' wide. My crow's nest. :D The ceiling will slope down to 6', no knocking of heads on ceilings. At least not mine.  ;D

I have been shopping for a rocker, and I got one in Maine last weekend. It's oak and made in USA, sorta. A photo when the porch is on, and ready to rock. ;)
