4182. judithathome - 5/6/2008 5:06:22 PM No, but I'm certain it's lovely and sounds like it will look good with the surrounding property.
I think the only "spring green" you need with this house is that which Mother Nature will provide....in the spring. 4183. thoughtful - 5/8/2008 1:48:51 PM Footings are framed.
 4184. thoughtful - 5/8/2008 1:49:29 PM Concrete truck arrives
 4185. thoughtful - 5/8/2008 1:50:00 PM Concrete is poured...literally.
 4186. thoughtful - 5/8/2008 1:50:59 PM via a boom truck....a big boom!
 4187. thoughtful - 5/8/2008 1:52:27 PM Foundation walls are framed and filled with concrete the same way.
Now we wait for the concrete to dry. 4188. jexster - 5/9/2008 4:54:46 PM Anyone see the Capital One credit card commercial? The design your own featuring a Darth Vader like character.
I howl everytime I hear
"And I want a picture of kittens!
WAR KITTENS??"
 4189. Ulgine Barrows - 5/10/2008 6:58:46 AM jexster, I abhor guns, but that's a funny picture. 4190. wonkers2 - 5/10/2008 2:51:58 PM Good to see you back, Ulgine. 4191. judithathome - 5/10/2008 7:29:25 PM Ditto! 4192. thoughtful - 5/14/2008 1:00:51 AM The foundation is in:
Such a lot of concrete! 4193. thoughtful - 5/14/2008 1:02:02 AM Hubby in his study...or at least where it will be when we get the first floor built.
 4194. thoughtful - 5/14/2008 1:21:52 AM Thoughtful sitting in the breakfast nook...or actually in the windows in the guest room...the breakfast nook will be there once the first floor gets built.
 4195. thoughtful - 5/14/2008 1:24:00 AM Waterproofing the foundation. Just like with a baby, nothing like a dry bottom!
 4196. arkymalarky - 5/14/2008 2:41:08 AM Wow, that looks massive. 4197. thoughtful - 5/14/2008 2:05:29 PM Yeah, I guess that's what happens when you build a ranch style house in the northeast... a lot of basement and a deep one as it has to go 4' below ground level to get below the frost line.
The house is not that big though, at least for this area. It'll be 2100 sq ft on the main floor which is small compared to the 5,000 and 6,000 sq ft monstrosities they build in town. The town itself has a 1500 sq ft minimum so it's not that much over. 4198. thoughtful - 5/14/2008 2:06:28 PM I just love the picture of the war kitten.
I showed it to hubby and suggested we make sure we keep our guns away from Cas...don't want to give him any ideas!
Your tuna or your life! 4199. judithathome - 5/14/2008 2:18:22 PM Harley is in that kitty's army, for sure. But she has had advanced training in paw-to-ankle warfare.
Thoughtful, you're as lovely as I always thought you were...strangely, you look a lot like someone I've seen before. ;-) 4200. thoughtful - 5/14/2008 3:11:34 PM You mean that blank expression on my face?
Next time, I'll be sure to smile! 4201. arkymalarky - 5/14/2008 3:34:28 PM Haha!
That's the size of my house, which is more than.enough when it's time to clean. We have a two-story, which looked tiny when it was just the foundation. No basement--they're rare here due to moisture. I wish we had one or a storm/root cellar.
