Cement





After almost a month of various delays (My back, a week of monsoon like rain and a Trinidad Cement Shortage) Kenny and his crew were able to get the floor poured this Friday. They did their normal amazing job and we will finally be able to move up.
Not expecting all of the delays we have been ordering everything else on schedule and now have a pile of materials stacked all over the place. I think we have everything on site to totally enclose the house. Trusses, Floor Joists, beams, 2x4s, 2x6s, sheeting, shingles, lathe. It is all here.
I hope this means the blog posts will be coming faster as we should pick up some speed now. I still think we can be enclosed before the weather gets crazy cold.
Other news is we start classes on Monday. The sports kids are already back and it feels like school again. Dad and I will call two Football games in the next week. I guess summer is over.
Melissa passed her place test for music. She can now teach k-12 English and music. She will start part time at Hoehne after Labor Day.
Finally, my back is recovering. Not 100% yet but improving.
