1700 blocks laid all in their rows! This week ended the block work! We are extremely thankful for my buddy Ron as he laid them all but 2 - I laid number's 6 &7 in row 7 of the garage. Was I a big help or what?? Between everything else that I have going on and being hurt I didn't get to be much help which wasn't in the plans. This coming week we will be forming the bond beam on top of the block and then pouring the whole wall solid. There isn't much else to say so we'll just show you the pictures.

We did order our windows this week - a little later than we had originally planned. We didn't order any of the windows we had mentioned in our previous blog. We ended up going with casement windows from
Valley Building Supply. We also spent quite a bit of time this week making some final changes to the floor plans. (The septic leach field did not get put in this week due to the excavator's schedule but it should happen this next week.)
