Rat slab!

I know I haven't posted for a few days...not because the guys haven't been working! I was sick over the weekend and just haven't been able to get caught up. So I'll try to do a couple posts so you can see all the progress we've made since last week.

As you've already seen, we have a 3 foot tall stem wall. This is so Dana doesn't have to crawl around on his hands and knees underneath the house later in life. This past weekend we poured more concrete so we have a rat slab under the house. This is so Dana doesn't have to walk around in dirt underneath the house! He is so spoiled...



Here are Dana, Will, Josh, Leonard and Frank getting the sand spread out for the slab. All the rebar is set out and tied together...the concrete is ready to be poured over the top. I tied all that rebar together! :)
Here's my guys shoveling the concrete...I should have been helping but I was laying on the couch sick with the flu. Amazing they managed to get it done without me! Ha ha.


The finished product...it turned out perfect!

It's looking great!! What fun to be building your own house - I mean, I KNOW it's a lot of hard work, but still! ;-)
