Tuesday

Personally, today was a shit day.  I'm home on sick leave for the rest of the week, and well, just not happy.  
House-wise, today was awesome!  The house looks totally different today, because my garage walls were installed and they started installing the forms for the exterior cellar walls.
I never really explained the foundation, and I guess now is as good a time as any.  Our house is a bit of a special case, but I'm sure that you, dear readers, already knew this.  Since our house is being built into a hill, it requires a very special foundation in order to counteract the pressures of the hill, from many sides.  The decision was that the exterior walls of the cellar, or is it foundation (?) along the back and the sides will be made of pured concrete.  The walls for the front of the house, namely, my garage, do not need to be so strong, but need to look nice.  So, the walls for my garage were made of pre-fab pieces.  The cool thing about pre-fab parts for a garage?  The walls were up in one day! 

And a view of the forms that are soon-to-be filled, and soon-to-be the complete exeterior walls in the cellar our house!

And there you have it!  This construction site is slowly, but surely, becoming a true home!
