The Garage.

Since we're all moved now and I forget to take pictures of the house during the day, you'll now get step by step pictures of the garage being built. I know that you might think its pretty boring but I don't think so because we are storing various "garage" items in the basement right now, like tires, canoes, hoses, garage junk, tools, you name it, and we have farmed out 3 cars to our neighbors until the garage is done. We also have a construction loan right now and have not closed on the long term loan for the house...hence...we still have not locked on an interest rate! EGADS! I hope the rates don't continue to rise like they have for the past few weeks!

Anyway...here's a few pictures of the progress on the garage. Today the floor was poured and the temperature was in the 30s F and freezing cold. I felt sorry for those guys out finishing the concrete...what a nasty job! Here's a picture of the gravel floor waiting for cement.

The first cement truck came at 9:00 a.m. and drove out into uncharted territory and promptly got stuck! ARGH!

I won't tell you what the cement guy, Chad, said...you can use your imagination. Here's a picture of Chad, he owns Gallery Concrete out of Spanish Fark...hee hee! A big shout out for those of you who live in Spanish Fork! I know I have several readers from there...we gotta love ya!

Luckily, the second truck came along and pulled him out.


Here's the first pour:

And the finished product!

Tomorrow the framers will come...so lumber was delivered today. I drove right past it coming home and didn't even notice it until I left again! Wahoo!

More pictures tomorrow...I promise some pictures of the rooms of the house that are settled in and maybe a pic or two of some stitching! Tonight I'm going to settle in for a chick flick "Nights in Rodanthe". I'll let you know how I like it! I love Redbox!
