Early yesterday morning Tilt called me from his cell to tell me that he just saw a concrete truck go by and was pretty sure they were coming our way. I was in the middle of breakfast so I told him we would probably miss the concrete trucks, but would head over after we ate. I hung up the phone and K pushed his toast away with purpose and exclaimed "I want go see cocret truck!" So that is what we did. It is pretty fun to watch. They rushed while the trucks poured. Quickly they got it even and level. Then they washed things out because it sets fast. Then they left. quick quick quick!! A couple people came back later to smooth things out and then later again to seal it. We managed to just make it in time to get K's feet prints in the back corner before it fully dried. By the end of the day we check concrete off our list.
Tilt on the other hand was busy with getting the last of our beams milled and to the site. He helped with the milling for these last beams and borrowed a trailer and tractor to transport it all. He delivered the last beams needed for the timber frame in early afternoon. He is as excited about those beams as K is about the concrete trucks (tractors, dump trucks, excavators, pick-up trucks etc.).
I have been busy gathering up some perennial plants and shrubs. I am putting them in temporary beds for future landscaping. I have a few from the garden here and yesterday I got a bunch from the farmhouse (where Tilt grew up).
Framing comes next. Tilt has been working out the first big order list to have material delivered.
...love those feet
