We have a room!

With the assistance of a crane, a few steel beams, and  over 100 welds; we now have a room!!   (A very strong room!)

This room is not mine.  This is Jake’s basement garage.  (aka Man Den)

My two men are already enjoying “their space”!

We’ve also decorated the construction site for Halloween.  We would not want any wondering trick-or-treaters to fall into our house!

We have walls, tar, and dirty men.

The basement foundation has been poured and Jake and his dad worked very hard waterproofing it.  If you see them on the street, don’t look too closely.  They still have bits of tar here and there.  (Thanks, guys!!!)

Who builds their house in a hole?

This is stage 1 of the building process, digging out the basement.  It’s no surprise that we hit rock and had to bring in a rock pick but the workers have been fantastic and have made short work of the digging.  We now have a hole upon which we can put our house.
