| OK, so we've bought lumber before, and call me silly, but this is the first lumber trip for the house's actual FRAME!! I was excited and had to take a picture! |
 |
| The FIRST piece of board down for plate. |
 |
| The next day when we were working further down on the plate, there was a tremendous squealing, and we looked over just in time to see both snake and prey (a baby ground squirrel, to our dismay) in the middle of a violent thrashing! They were completely in the air twice that we saw. We did get a little closer to get a picture, and to check for rattles, but it was a rat snake, so we were relieved and much less apprehensive to have witnessed such an event of nature! |
 |
| Near dusk, so this picture is blue, but this is the master bedroom and bath. Kristina is standing in Joe's closet, and Joe is working on the plate around the shower. This is from 8/13/11, weekend after we did all of the perimeter plate. We do get over here evenings during the week, but the days are getting shorter, and it's still 100* at 8PM sometimes, so we don't always work every night. Joe is Superman, and can work through any heat, it seems, but I really can't stand working in it over 95* unless the sun is real low. |
 |
| Joe, still working on measuring shower, the commode is where the cinderblock is, and the pipe behind Kristina is the drain for the tub. Give me some walls and a roof! I'm moving in!! |
