"Slow and steady wins the race..."

If there was one sentiment that could sum up recent progress it would be: "Slow and steady wins the race..." It feels like progress remains slow, but, as you can see, it is happening. But we knew ahead of time that things would be slow when you only can dedicate a few hours a week to such an undertaking. Weather, pre- scheduled events, and last-minute obligations (i.e., life!) continue to be major factors in time spent. But still, we trudge on. We are certainly grateful for the friends who have stepped up to the plate for these major tasks (concrete & beams). We continue to plan for the steps ahead and have been having fun along the way hunting bargains & deals (as they come into play, we'll be sure to show you the steals :) We continue to thank God for our relationship as this could be a nightmare for many, but its been a great experience for us as a team. We hope you enjoy this update....


A late Friday night finishing section 1 of the slab...















Section 2 of the slab (a week late thanks to a tropical system)...




















Finished slab - not the prettiest, but a great amatuer job, indeed....















Getting the posts back to level in prep for the beams...















Two gallons of wood glue: $32















Twenty pounds of nails: $30




















A big guy to help put them up (instead of Tara): $Priceless
















We're going vertical...




















With every step, it feels more and more official!...
