Goals and Progress

To many of you, it appears we're not making much progress . . . and that's partially true. But, let me fill you in on what's going on behind the scenes. Adam decided that it was best to leave the formwork to the professionals. So, we are currently receiving bids back from people who will build the formwork and place the concrete. We should decide who we're going with soon and get the form boards finished shortly.

Adam is still doing the underground plumbing himself. We should be able to layout the walls once the formwork is in and get the plumbing set up over a weekend or so. We are still planning on placing the concrete by the end of May. Nothing has changed on our lot recently, but hopefully that's all about to change. After the foundation is complete, we start framing! I'm looking forward to seeing the house take shape. We will be doing this ourselves and will really need a lot of help during that phase.

So, there you have it for house news.

This past weekend, we ventured down to Orlando to visit my family. It was my mom's birthday, so we took a boat trip around Downtown Disney. Fun was had by all - here is a picture of the event.
