Concrete Milestone

These guys can get concrete anywhere!
It's been pretty exciting around here with the anticipation of 2 things... to have a mud free home and to have hot water! We've had mud (dirt + plumbing work) for about 3 weeks and cold water for about 2 weeks so this concrete was kind of a big deal around here!




The new foundation (frost wall construction) was poured  under the addition. 


Waiting for the concrete to cure...


New concrete foundation!

Last week...

New Concrete!
Oh yes... and then I wrote our initials in the basement floor (I've wanted to write in concrete since I was a kid) but I didn't plan out where I would put my graffiti and as it turns out it was right where we ended up putting the hot water tank and since we were so excited about hot water I forgot to take a pic before we installed it so here's my best attempt at a good shot...

I will miss attempting to go to Millcreek pool every second day but we're grateful for the return of hot water!

  1. Wow that has to suck. I thought we were living in chaos for the last few weeks but compared to these pics you have definitely hadit worse than us. Glad you have hot water back!

  2. Thanks! We did enjoy going to Millcreek during the little heat wave last week... We probably wouldn't have gone so many times if we would have had hot water.
