This past weekend we finally officially moved to our BC property to live out of our travel trailer while the house and garage are built. It is still quite surreal and just feels like we are on a vacation right now, not sure how long before it will sink in that we are here to stay this time.
Today is an exciting day, as they are pouring our foundations. It will take about 5 cement trucks to deliver all the concrete for the house, garage and pump house. It is a bit more work than usual as the cement trucks are too heavy to drive down our steep driveway safely, so they have to run long hoses down to the house and garage to fill the forms. Every once and awhile the hose will ‘clog’ up and they have to use hammers to break the clog up and move it down the hose. I’m sure they will be glad when this day is over.
Here are shots of them pouring for the garage
and the house
If you look hard you can see the cement truck up at the top of the picture through the trees and the hose is run down the hill to the building site.
Tomorrow they will be bringing in about 100 loads of fill. Should be a busy day and there should be some good images to share. Stay tuned!
