Things are moving quickly!! Our builders from Green Blocks decided they wanted to help out a little more and make sure we get in there as quick as possible... so look at the difference from day 1 to now!!

They just finished the final pour in the first section of walls here.

The portion of blocks you see here is our crawl space. The house had to be raised up 4 feet due to our septic system.

The front needed to be painted to allow for a moisture barrier when they bring the fill on Monday.

Our electricity poll thing will go in soon so we can have electricity on site.. instead of noisy, gas guzzling generators. Luckily our lovely neighbors have been generous enough to let us borrow a bit of their electricity to run a few of the machines. But as you can see there is little waste and minimal electricity necessary. 

On Monday we have 2 truckloads of fill dirt coming and our front porch will be formed up and to be poured on Tuesday. 

Tuesday or Wednesday our friends from Green Blocks will return to put the second set of blocks up to complete the first floor.
