Wow, a lot happened today!

So much has gone on in the past two days.  My post from yesterday actually was Monday's picture. 
I stopped by the house yesterday at 11 am, at which time the builders were working on the load-bearing wall.  My original plan was to stop by the building site yesterday evening, but I was tired, my car seems to be having problems again, and it was pouring.  So, I  wasn't able to get to the house again until today to take pictures.  I was so surprised by what I found today!
Concrete has been poured on the roof of my garage. The electricians laid lots of cable yesterday. The entire exterior of the cellar has been covered with a special tar that serves to fill in any cracks that may occur in the cellar walls, preventing moisture from seeping into the cellar.  And, one of the load-bearing walls is complete!
A better view of the cellar exteiror.  Plus, the cable running over the roof of Joern's garage was also installed yesterday.
Cables for Joern's garage.



The completed load-bearing wall (bordering the staircase and the entertainment room,) and the next one is begun.
The entertainment room new wall!  The front of the wall, forming the border between the entertainment room and the foyer, has also been started.

Seriously, I cannot believe how much changed in such a short time!  I was certain that both load-bearing walls would be completed by the time Joern returned on Sunday, but I never would have guessed that so much would have been completed in one and a half days!  I can't wait to see what tomorrow brings!
